It was the Watson Settlement Bridge in Littleton, Maine. The bridge had become a hangout for teenage pot smokers, and in the summer of 2021, it was destroyed by fire. It is believed the fire was deliberately set, and although there's a reward for information leading to an arrest, I don't believe anyone has been arrested. Some years ago, teenage potheads burned a covered bridge in some other New England state, but I don't recall which.

Watson Settlement Bridge

>Watson Settlement Bridge was an historic covered bridge in eastern Littleton, Maine, United States. Built in 1911, it was one of the youngest of Maine's few surviving covered bridges. It formerly carried Framingham Road over the Meduxnekeag River, but was closed to traffic, the road passing over a modern bridge to its south. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

When one of the investigators was interviewed by a local reporter, he specifically said the bridge had become a hangout for teens smoking pot and clearly indicated he suspected they were responsible. Unlike you, not everyone considers destruction of historic sites "fun."
