After a historic covered bridge was destroyed by a snowmobile fire, town leaders in Troy, Vermont, are starting to grapple with the process of reconnecting a road that was left impassible.
“It’s devastating,” said Tomasz Adach of Westfield, who came to take pictures Monday of the wreckage of the River Road Covered Bridge in Troy. “It really is.”
“It’s a catastrophe in terms of this beautiful wooden structure being ruined,” said Maureen McGuire of Newport Center, who also came Monday to see the remnants of the bridge.
The bridge was a favorite spot for high school seniors to take their senior photos, as well as providing a time-saving shortcut to drivers, locals told NECN and NBC10 Boston.
