Rehabilitation of the Swiftwater Covered Bridge
The Swiftwater Covered Bridge is a 48.158 m (158-foot) long, asymmetrical, two-span timber covered bridge that spans the Wild Ammonoosuc River in Bath, New Hampshire. The bridge was built in 1849 utilizing Paddleford trusses; the oldest of only twenty-two (22) bridges of this unique truss type remaining in the country (6). After nearly 150 years with minimal maintenance, the bridge was in very poor condition and required a complete rehabilitation so that it could continue to serve the residents of Bath, NH. This paper details the inspection, analysis, design of repairs and rehabilitation of this historic bridge.
