One of Maine’s beautiful covered bridges, the historic Watson Settlement Bridge is the oldest surviving bridge in Maine built with the Howe Truss system.
Built in 1901, this 93-foot long covered bridge spans the Magalloway River near Wilson’s Mills and the Lincoln Plantation. It was partially built by Horace Bennett and Fred Taylor in 1898 and was finished by the Mason Brothers, a bridge construction group from Bethel. It was closed to traffic in 1985 but it is still a nice place to walk around.
This fine example of an old covered bridge, one of the few remaining in Maine, spans the Ossipee River between Porter and Parsonsfield just east of Route 160.
This historic bridge crossing the Crooked River, which is still in use today, is the last remaining suspension bridge of the Warren truss design in Maine.
