It looks like the ends of the Burr Arch have been modified on this, as the angle for the final section makes a dramatic change from the rest of the sections. Note the difference going from hand hewn timber of the left to finely cut timber on the right

Westford Bridge
Extremely peculiar, I've only seen this on this bridge, and it happened on all 4 corners. Like most of VT's Burr aches this varies from the typical design by having the arch terminate into the lower chord instead of the abutment. On this bridge the outside arch ring exits the covering of the bridge and terminates off to the side of the lower chord. I had noted a peculiarity about the bottom section of the arch ring, so maybe a poorly executed modification?
