History
The original Corbin Bridge was built in 1843 by Anson Warren. In 1979, the state rehabilitated the structure for $66,000. That bridge was destroyed by arson on May 25, 1993. Almost immediately, town residents petitioned the town of Newport to reconstruct a new covered bridge in its place. Master Bridgewright Arnold M. Graton of Arnold M. Graton Associates, Inc. of Holderness was contracted to rebuild the Corbin. Supported by private fundraising and insurance proceeds, the new Corbin Bridge opened on January 8, 1995. The project received an award from the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance.[1]
