Bump covered bridge, Campton, New Hampshire

Bump Bridge

Located on Bump Road at Campton Hollow spanning the Beebe River.

Bump Bridge

The original Queenpost structure at this site was built in 1877. At one time the bridge was known as the Webber Bridge. The current structure was built by Arnold Graton in 1972 after it was determined all of the bottom framing was rotten and there was nothing that could be repaired. The Bump Bridge was constructed in a manner replicating the traditional style of covered bridges.

Than, That's the only Bump bridge I know of other than a bumpy bridge.

Will, I am going to your old stomping grounds in Lancaster County and photograph bridges as soon as the leaves come out.

Anita and John, I'm sure there are volumes!

Great picture Keith - when I first glanced at it I thought it was leaning to the right and it was tipping towards the water. LOL tough day!
