Jeffries Ford Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Parke County, United States.
The Jeffries Ford Covered Bridge spans 222 feet across Big Raccoon Creek with wooden trusses and a double-span Burr Arch construction design.
Built in 1915 by J.A. Britton at age 75, the bridge received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1978 before its destruction by arson in 2002.
The bridge formed part of Parke County's network of covered bridges, contributing to the area's recognition as the Covered Bridge Capital of the World.
The structure connected rural communities via Jeffries Ford Road, measuring 16 feet in width and 13 feet in height to accommodate local traffic patterns.
Multiple generations of the Britton family participated in constructing this bridge, with Joseph's sons actively involved in the building process.
