Lowes Bridge is a covered bridge in a rural part of Guilford, Maine. Built in 1857, this bridge was washed away by the flood of April 1, 1987. [1] A modern covered bridge, patterned after the original, was built on the original abutments in 1990. [2] The replacement was built to have a larger load-capacity and was raised in order to prevent damage from future flooding. [3]
The bridge, located just off Route 15 south of Guilford Village, has a clear span of 120 feet over the Piscataquis River. [3]
