Goddard Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Fleming County, US.
The Goddard Covered Bridge extends 63 feet over Sand Lick Creek, featuring a town lattice truss design with wooden pins instead of nails for construction.
Built in 1864 by architect Joseph Goddard, the bridge was relocated one mile from its original position in 1933 during the reconstruction of Highway 32.
The structure represents 19th-century American rural engineering practices, when covered bridges served as vital connections between communities throughout Kentucky.
Steel braces reinforce the creek bank near the bridge abutments, and the structure maintains a gross weight limit under 4 tons for vehicular traffic.
The wooden cover of this bridge functions as protection against weather elements, allowing the timbered trusses to season properly and extend their operational life.
