}} The Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses Cox Brook in Northfield, Vermont on Cox Brook Road. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.〔 The bridge is of Queen post truss design. While this bridge is very similar in design to other bridges in the area, the trusses on this one are not completely covered, with large "shaded" windows open on both sides. ==Recent history== Like the other bridges in this locality the deck has been reinforced by I beams, sometime in the 1960s.〔Evans, Benjamin and June. ''New England's Covered Bridges''. University Press of New England, 2004. ISBN 1-58465-320-5〕 On August 28, 2011, the Upper Cox Brook bridge appeared to have been severely damaged by flooding caused by Hurricane Irene. A tree was thrust up through the bridge into the roof and the approaching road was washed out. The bridge was closed for a brief time, but reopened within 2 weeks after the storm apparently suffering only minor damage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
