Description
A second new covered bridge was constructed at this site in 1992; I saw both the deteriorated older bridge being dismantled and the new bridge downstream from the older bridge. Though most sources call this the 1856 bridge, the existing bridge technically dates from 1992 and should be considered a recreation.
