The Corbin Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge over the North Branch of the Sugar River on Corbin Road, approximately 1miles west of NH 10 in Newport in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, United States.[1] The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, but was removed[2] following its destruction by fire in the early hours of May 25, 1993.[3] It has since been reconstructed.
The structure is a Town lattice truss bridge, originally built in 1845, destroyed by fire in 1993 and subsequently reconstructed,[4] consisting of one span with a total length of 96feet. The total width of the bridge is 18feet, and has a single lane road.[5] The bridge rests on stone abutments. The bridge passes 12feet over the water. Its sides are sheathed, the usual means by which the truss elements are protected from the elements.
