The Whittier Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in Ossipee, New Hampshire. The bridge carried an old alignment of New Hampshire Route 25 (now Nudd Road and Old Covered Bridge Road) over the Bearcamp River. Built in 1870, it is one of New Hampshire's few surviving 19th-century covered bridges, and a rare example of a Paddleford truss. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1] It was closed to vehicular traffic in 1989,[2] and was removed from its footings for restoration in 2008. As of September 2019[update], the bridge is resting on Nudd Road adjacent to the crossing point.[3] It was placed back on its abutments in the late fall of 2022.
