Freeport Covered Bridge was built in 1870 and spans 91 feet long, connecting the two river banks alongside Rivière Yamaska. The bridge takes its name from an old region now located in Cowansville. It went through some renovations in 1992, adding steel support to its infrastructure. Some modern street lamps were added to the bridge in 2014. It went through additional restorations after being damaged twice by large trucks over the years.

There is a sign on both sides of the bridge asking cars to honk before entering its dark interior. Since this red bridge is well-known in the area, some picnic tables and parking was added for tourists to come to visit. They also built a ramp that grants access to the water near the bridge. Admire the Freeport Covered Bridge during your travels!
