The Bridge is close to completion!

Finishing touches are being put on Sunapee's Covered Walking Bridge in preparation for the arrival of the crane which will place it over the Sugar River.  Congratulations to Brent and Josh Stocker for a magnificent construction job and to the donors of dollars and materials who made it possible.

Thank you one and all!!

With the roof trusses in place, the beautiful shape of the bridge is finally visible - Check back soon for more progress reports as they happen....

The trusses have arrived!

The trusses have been delivered from LaValley's  Building Supply and the bridge roof will soon be under construction.  Check back for more progress reports as they happen.....

Our bridge is a reality!

Check out the action on River Road as Brent and Josh Stocker (with a little help from their friends) assemble the bridge. It's just amazing how much they have done in a short time. The structure is awaiting the arrival of roof trusses being donated by LaValleys Building Supply. This is truly a community wide effort & we need your help to finish the job!

The Bridge Has Arrived!

GOOD NEWS!


The Covered Bridge made the cross-country trek from Western Wood Structures in Oregon to Sunapee in early December. he construction crew is eager to assemble the components as soon as winter's snow melts and spring daffodils appear.

A huge "THANK YOU" to the many Sunapee residents who responded so generously to the recent request for funds to help cover the expenses of lighting, signage, landscaping and installation of the engraved granite stepping stones. Your interest and support of Sunapee's Covered Bridge Project indicates your recognition of the potential benefits to our community.

Now is the time for all good neighbors to help this exciting element of the Town Master Plan become a reality for our community's future. "Be a Bridge Builder"! Monetary contributions as well as donations of labor and services, equipment and construction materials continue to be sought.
