- List of Indiana covered bridges
This is a list of Indiana covered bridges. There are 98 historic wooden covered bridges in the U.S. state of Indiana. Eight of these bridges were built before 1870 and represent the most common truss styles (Burr Arch) in Indiana.
Parke County bills itself as the covered bridge capital of the world [Parke County Chamber of Commerce, 2008] . Combined with six counties that surround it, there are 51 of Indiana’s 98 covered bridges in the small area. Parke County: 33, Putnam County: 9, Montgomery: 1, Fountain: 3, Vermillion: 3, Vigo: 1, Owen: 1. A majority (54) are Burr Truss designs. The next most common (23) truss style is Howe Truss. The older style Kings Post and Queens Post (1 each) are located in the west; ‘’’Philips Bridge’’’, west of Rockville in Parke County and ‘’’Irishmans Bridge’’’, south of Terra Haute. [Indiana Atlas & Gazetteer, DeLorme, pg 9] Indiana also has examples of the Long Truss and the Smith Type IV Truss. The last example of a Post Truss collapsed in 2006.
