The Parsonsfield-Porter Bridge is a covered bridge located in Porter, Maine, and one of the few 19th-century covered bridges left in the state. The bridge spans the Ossipee River just east of the modern alignment of North Road (Maine State Route 160), which it formerly carried, between the towns of Porter and Parsonsfield. Built in 1876, it is a Paddleford truss bridge which has been strengthened with laminated arches and is 152 feet long. The bridge was closed to traffic in 1960.
