The Cutright Covered Bridge is no longer standing
it crossed Salt Creek in Section 4, Township 7 North, and Range 1 East, Monroe
County. This single span Howe Truss structure had a length of 141 feet, or
147 feet including the 3-foot overhang at each end, with a portal clearance
16 feet wide by 14 feet high. Built in 1880 by Smith Bridge Company and named
for a family that settled nearby, the Cutright Covered Bridge was listed
as #14-53-05 in the World Guide (according to G. Gould's 1977 list) and was
removed in 1963 as part of the Monroe Reservoir project.
