Montgomery Covered Bridge
}}
The Montgomery Covered Bridge, also known as the Lower Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses the North Branch of the Lamoille River in Waterville, Vermont on Montgomery Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.〔
The bridge is of Queen post design, built by an unknown builder. Despite the Geographical Names Information System (GNIS) database listing ''Lower'' as one of the names of this bridge, this may be an error as it is commonly known as the ''Middle Covered Bridge'' since it is between the Jaynes Covered Bridge (also known as the ''Upper'' bridge) and the Village Covered Bridge (also known as the ''Lower'' bridge). All cross the same waterway.〔Evans, Benjamin and June. ''New England's Covered Bridges''. University Press of New England, 2004. ISBN 1-58465-320-5〕
==Recent history==
In 1969 a large snowstorm deposited of snow, concentrated more on one side of the roof than the other, which induced a lean. Dallas Montgomery, a farmer for whom the bridge is now named, got up on the roof to remove some of the snow. Local resident Wilmer Locke used a winch to right the lean and added bracing. In 1971 an asphalt truck fell through the deck into the river below (luckily with only minor injuries to the driver). The bridge was subsequently reinforced with steel beams. There are apparently accounts of major repairs made in 1997.〔
