The Bartonsville Covered Bridge was a wooden covered bridge in the village of Bartonsville, in Rockingham, Vermont, United States. Built in 1870 by Sanford Granger, the bridge was a lattice truss style with a 151 foot span across the Williams River. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was located on Lower Bartonsville Road, a paved road a short distance north from Vermont Route 103. Nearby, to the east, is the Worrall Covered Bridge, also built by Granger.
On August 28, 2011, the bridge was destroyed due to flash flooding because of Hurricane Irene's landfall upon the eastern seaboard dumping torrential rain throughout the state of Vermont.[2]
