Pictures Info.

The Harrodsburg Covered Bridge is no longer standing … it crossed Clear Creek in Section 20, Township 7 North, and Range 1 West, Monroe County. This single span structure probably had a Smith Truss and was 82 fee long, or 88 feet including the 3-foot overhang at each end, and had a portal clearance 16 feet 6 inches wide by 12 feet 6 inches high. Built in 1874 by the Smith Bridge Company, the Harrodsburg Covered Bridge was listed as #14-53-07 in the World Guide (according to G. Gould's 1977 list) and was lost in September 9, 1949.
