Zumbrota Covered Bridge

The wooden bridge spans 116 feet across the Zumbro River with a 15-foot-wide roadway featuring a Town lattice truss configuration.

Built in 1869 to replace a structure destroyed by flooding, the bridge received its board and batten siding cover in 1871.

The bridge stands as a centerpiece during the Covered Bridge Festival, celebrated annually during the third weekend of June.

Visitors can access the bridge by taking Highway 52, heading north on Highway 58, turning left on 2nd Street, and right at the final intersection.

This structure remains the only original covered timber truss bridge in Minnesota, relocated 1000 feet west of its initial position.
