Pictures Info.

The Church Covered Bridge is no longer standing … it crossed Beanblossom Creek in Section 27, Township 10 North, and Range 1 East, Monroe County. This single span Smith Truss structure had a length of 102 feet, or 110 feet including the 4-foot overhang at each end, with a portal clearance 16 feet wide by 12 feet 6 inches high. Built in 1876 by the Smith Bridge Company, the Church Covered Bridge was listed as #14-53-06 in the World Guide (according to G. Gould's 1977 list) and was removed in 1952 as part of the Lake Lemon Reservoir project.
