Pulp Mill Bridge is located in a small neighborhood on the border of Middlebury and Weybridge, Vermont. It is a 184-foot Burr arch, double barrel truss construction which carries Pulp Mill Bridge Road over Otter Creek.

It was originally a single span, but time and use have reduced it's structural integrity - and part of reconstruction was dividing it into 3 spans with concrete piers, and timber cribs added at each division.

The only other 2-lane covered bridge in Vermont serves as a staff entrance to Shelburne Museum. It has it's own waymark.

There is a nice old mill waterfall on Otter Creek, just north of this bridge; it is included in the gallery.

Current Condition of Bridge: Good
