The West Cornwall Covered Bridge, as it is officially known, is 172 feet long and just 15 feet wide, according to the town. It is believed to have been built in 1864 and spans the Housatonic River.
In 2022, the bridge was closed for several weeks after being damaged by a large vehicle that tried to pass through it.
