The West Cornwall Covered Bridge is a two span Town Lattice and Queenpost Truss with a total length of 242 feet. It carries CT 128 over the Housatonic River in the town of West Cornwall. This historic bridge was built in 1841. It is a two-way bridge, but cars must take turns driving through it because it is only one lane. (note: there is also a West Cornwall Covered Bridge aka Hart Bridge in Cornwall, Connecticut on Route 128). |
