Built about 1870, it is the town's only surviving 19th-century covered bridge. The bridge was listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 1974. ==Description and history== The Kingsley Covered Bridge is located west of [Vermont Route 103](/source/Vermont_Route_103) and just under the landing strip for the [Rutland Airport](/source/Rutland_Airport) on East Street Extension off Gorge Road, a paved road that turns to dirt after crossing the bridge. It is adjacent to the [Kingsley Grist Mill Historic District](/source/Kingsley_Grist_Mill_Historic_District), consisting of a restored mill and houses. The bridge has a 3-ton weight limit. The bridge is a single-span [Town lattice](/source/Town_lattice) truss structure, {{convert|121|ft|m}} long and {{convert|17.5|ft|m}} wide, with a roadway width of {{convert|14|ft|m}} (one lane). The trusses rest on [abutment](/source/abutment)s that have been faced in concrete. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, which extends from the sides, around the portals, and just inside the portals. It has a roof of corrugated metal.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|74000257}}|title=NRHP nomination for Kingsley Covered Bridge|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2016-04-10}} The bridge bears a sign claiming to have been built in 1836, but the National Register nomination claims a construction date of about 1870. The bridge was built by Timothy K. Horton (1814-1896),{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|07001170}}|title=NRHP nomination for Kingsley Grist Mill Historic District|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2016-04-11}} and is the town's last surviving 19th-century bridge. The site has apparently had a bridge since the late 18th century, with references to a crossing being authorized there in 1788. ==See also== *[National Register of Historic Places listings in Rutland County, Vermont](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places_listings_in_Rutland_County%2C_Vermont) *[List of Vermont covered bridges](/source/List_of_Vermont_covered_bridges) *[List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Vermont](/source/List_of_bridges_on_the_National_Register_of_Historic_Places_in_Vermont) ==References== {{reflist}} {{commons category|Kingsley Covered Bridge}} {{NRHP in Rutland County, Vermont}} Category:Covered bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Vermont Category:Covered bridges in Rutland County, Vermont Category:Buildings and structures in Clarendon, Vermont Category:Bridges completed in 1836 Category:Wooden bridges in Vermont Category:National Register of Historic Places in Rutland County, Vermont Category:Historic district contributing properties in Vermont Category:Road bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Vermont Category:Lattice truss bridges in the United States Category:1836 establishments in Vermont --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Kingsley Covered Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsley_Covered_Bridge) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsley_Covered_Bridge?action=history)).
