The Goodman Covered Bridge, also known as the Hobart Covered
Bridge, is no longer standing
it crossed Salt Creek in Section 28,
Township 7 North, and Range 1 West, Monroe County. This single span Howe
Truss structure had a length of 100 feet, or 112 feet including the 6-foot
overhang at each end, with a portal clearance 16 feet wide by 13 feet 6 inches
high. Built in 1881 by Thomas A. Hardman, this bridge received its name from
the fact that it was built over Goodman Ford. This Covered Bridge was listed
as #14-53-04 in the World Guide (according to G. Gould's 1977 list) and was
removed in 1964 as part of the Monroe Reservoir project.
