This covered bridge was first built on this site in 1867-1868, and remains in active service. A school bus passed over the bridge as I walked across during the visit.
Since the bridge was not originally constructed until 1867, it could not have been the one burned by General Jackson in 1862. That one was reported to be further north in the Meem's Bottom area.
The bridge is easy found just off US-11 north of the VA historical about it. A small parking area exists on the west end of the bridge.
