Description and history
The Waterloo Covered Bridge is located in western Warner, spanning the Warner River in a roughly northeast–southwest orientation. The bridge is a single span with a span length of and an overall length of . It rests on concrete foundations that were laid in 1970, during a major rehabilitation of the structure. The roadway is wide (enough for a single lane of traffic), with a vertical clearance of . The bridge is sheathed by vertical planking and topped by a corrugated metal gable roof. The planking does not quite reach the eave, leaving an open band just below the roof line, and each side has several square openings cut in it for additional lighting. Newmarket Road was laid out by the town of Warner in 1839, suggesting a bridge was either built or already standing at this site at that time. The present bridge was likely built in 1860, when the town paid $473.65 for construction of the "Waterloo Bridge". The low price suggests that the abutments were probably repaired rather than rebuilt. The site of the bridge at the Waterloo Falls was adjacent to a number of industrial enterprises using the water power of the river and would have been an important feature of the village; all of these businesses failed and there are now only foundational remains.See also
