Coldwater Covered Bridge, Oxford, AL - Covered Bridges on Waymarking.com

This one span covered bridge is 60 ft. long and 10 ft. wide and is visible from I-20. It is to the east of the Oxford Lake and Civic Center building. At one time, it was the only covered bridge visible from a major highway in AL.

Built prior to 1850, possibly as early as 1839, this is one of two surviving covered bridges in the state built in the modified Kingpost style (around 200 total built). Information says that it was built by a former slave. Except for a brief period in 1920 when the bridge was being repaired after burning, the bridge was in continual use.

The sketch below shows the bridge in its original location.
