Bob White Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Woolwine, United States.
The Bob White Covered Bridge spans 80 feet across the Smith River with wooden Queen-post truss construction and protective roof covering.
Built in 1921 by Walter Weaver, the bridge received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 before its destruction by flooding in 2015.
The structure drew its name from the bobwhite quails in the area and served as an access point to the Smith River Church of the Brethren.
Located on Bob White Road off State Route 8, the bridge stood 13 miles north of Stuart until a concrete bridge replaced it for motor traffic in 1981.
The bridge represented one of only seven public covered bridges in Virginia, hosting annual horse-drawn wagon rides during the Patrick County Covered Bridge Festival.
