Johnson Creek Covered Bridge
Johnson Creek Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Robertson County, Kentucky.
The Johnson Creek Covered Bridge spans 114 feet across Johnson Creek with a wooden structure protected by a full-length roof and side walls.
Built in 1874 by Jacob N. Bower, this bridge employs the Smith truss system and received reinforcing arches in 1912 to support increased traffic loads.
The bridge represents one of only eleven remaining covered bridges in Kentucky, from over four hundred that once connected communities across the state.
Located 4 miles north of Blue Licks Battlefield State Park on Covered Bridge Road, the structure remains closed to vehicle traffic but open for viewing.
This bridge stands as the sole known example of Robert Smith's truss design in Kentucky and the only covered bridge built by Jacob N. Bower.
