All i can say is that it had better be restored, the town won't be the same without it.

Awesome bridge - we thank engineers and builders for the sturdier infrastructure here in VT. NO GODS ARE NEEDED (nor wanted).

They should rename it to "Defiance Covered Bridge"

When I first heard of the Quechee bridge being destroyed, I thought the whole structure was washed away. It would be nice if people can restore it.

This video brought tears, big gulping tears, as both sets of grandparents lived in Quechee next door to each other. My grandmother, Pauline Cole, was the librarian for 43 years and was on her way to open the library in Dec. 1992 when she was killed in a car accident. My cousin still lives on Main St. Memories abound as we lived in Barnard and drove over the Taftsville bridge all the time to get to Quechee. Thanks for such a heartfelt video.
After the repair, it will be a distinct honor to walk that bridge again post-Irene!

Thanks for putting this up. I have a house in Quechee and I think it is inspiring that this little bridge held up to that incredible flood. My heart goes out to my neighbors in Quechee as the long clean up begins.
