Holliwell Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Winterset, United States.
The wooden Holliwell Bridge extends 110 feet across Middle River, featuring a timber Town lattice truss structure with metal fasteners and reinforced arches.
Built in 1880 by Harvey P. Jones and George K. Foster for $1,180, the bridge served vehicular traffic until 1986 when it was bypassed for modern infrastructure.
The bridge holds special recognition as one of the filming locations in The Bridges of Madison County, selected as a primary setting for the motion picture.
The structure underwent a complete restoration in 1995, funded by a federal grant of $225,000, ensuring its preservation for future generations to visit.
Among the six remaining covered bridges in Madison County, the Holliwell stands as the longest timber bridge structure in the state of Iowa.
