Description


Kenyon Bridge

The Kenyon Bridge, also known as the Blacksmith Shop Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Cornish, New Hampshire. Now closed to vehicular traffic, it formerly carried Town House Road over Mill Brook, just east of its junction with Center Street. The multiple Kingpost truss bridge was built in 1882 by James Tasker, and is 96 feet (29 m) long and 14.5 feet (4.4 m) wide, with a roadbed 90 feet (27 m) long and 13 feet (4.0 m) wide. The bridge rests on dry-laid stone abutments. The bridge is sheltered by a sheet metal roof, and has vertical plank siding covering the lower 1/3 of the trusses. Each truss consists of 28 panel sections between 29 posts.
