NANCY JANE COVERED BRIDGE

Pictures Info.

The Nancy Jane Covered Bridge, also known as the Musser Covered Bridge, is no longer standing … it crossed Salt Creek in Section 13, Township 7 North and Range 1 West, somewhere between the town of Fairfax and Chapel Hill, Monroe County. This single span Burr Arch structure had a length of 160 feet, or 178 feet including the 9-foot overhang at each end, with a portal clearance 16 feet wide by 14 feet 6 inches high. Built by the Kennedy Brothers in 1884, it was named in honor of Nancy Jane Chambers and listed as #14-53-08 in the World Guide (according to G. Gould's 1977 list). This bridge was removed in 1964 as part of the Monroe Reservoir project.
