Sugar Creek Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Sangamon County, US.
The Sugar Creek Covered Bridge extends 110 feet in length and 30 feet in width, featuring a wooden Burr truss construction over Sugar Creek.
Thomas Black constructed this transportation link in 1880, making it the oldest among the five remaining historical covered bridges in Illinois.
The structure stands as the centerpiece of Pioneer Park, representing the engineering methods and materials used in 19th-century American infrastructure.
Located at 587-769 Covered Bridge Road in Glenarm, Illinois, the bridge now serves as part of a public park with designated picnic areas.
The State of Illinois acquired this bridge in 1963 and performed extensive renovations two years later before closing it to vehicle traffic in 1984.
