In 1800 a special tax was levied to construct a bridge near the mouth of Miller's Run. Repaired in 1816 and rebuilt in 1841, it must have been an open bridge, for the first reference on record of a covered bridge being there appears in the Vermont Union in August 1878: "The selectmen have completed the new covered bridge over Miller's Run."
In 1995, as a result of irreparable damage due to a storm, the bridge was completely replaced. The new bridge allows for one-way traffic and has a covered walkway for pedestrians. The bridge is noted for being the last covered bridge to be used in the State Highway system.
