I have more sources but I知 currently working and will have to share them later. I always do research for adding bridges on here. I corrected another bridge on here and it was changed back last year and I fixed it again. My great uncle was instrumental on getting that bridge built and I知 also in the Pike County Historical Society and have many resources.

I have messaged with the locals and they confirmed that this bridge was referred to as the Spring Creek Covered Bridge. A lot of them remember when it burned.

A lot of local folks are taking interest in this bridge since I started this project. When the road commissioner calls me back with the verification I will talk more with him on the structural intergity of the bridge and if there are any hopes in saving it.

The road to this bridge on the west side has been completely removed and is now a corn field. You have to walk up the hill to get to it. The woman chewed me out on Facebook and said she is reporting it to the owner. I will be obtaining a plat book to do more research. For now I would just stay away. Also the road is currently under weather to it.

The issue with the closure is that you have to drive to the Pittsfield Exit on I 72 which makes it a 20 mile detour to get to the other side of the bridge.

When I drove by this bridge the other day, it was closed. There was some corugated steel pipe next to it, so it looks like they might be replacing. I hope they dont this is a very nice bridge.
