Poland Covered Bridge : ウィキペディア英語版 | Poland Covered Bridge }} The Poland Covered Bridge, also known as the Junction Covered Bridge or the Cambridge Junction Covered Bridge〔As stated on the sign affixed to the bridge, and State of Vermont Historical marker〕 is a covered bridge that crosses the Lamoille River off State Route 15 in Cambridge, Vermont. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.〔 The bridge is of Burr arch design, built by George W. Holmes. ==Name== The bridge was named for a local official, Judge Poland, and was a controversial issue in 1888: : "Judge Poland has caused the Town of Cambridge to be inflicted with a bridge and a road at an expense of from $6,000-$10,000 which as shown will be of no material benefit to anyone but himself. It will be known in the future as “Poland’s Bridge” except to the taxpayers of Cambridge who will christen it “The Bridge of Sighs.” " –''News & Citizen'', 1888〔''News & Citizen'', Morrisville, VT, 1888.〕 Poland did not live to use the bridge, dying in his hayfield the following July.
