Mecca Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Parke County, United States.
Mecca Covered Bridge is a wooden structure with stone piers that carries traffic across Big Raccoon Creek. The construction displays typical 19th-century carpentry methods with its timber framing and solid support system at both ends.
A local builder constructed this bridge in the second half of the 19th century using the Burr Arch Truss design system. This engineering approach was common at the time and proved effective for river crossings.
The bridge remains an essential part of the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival, highlighting the region's transportation heritage and architectural achievements.
The structure is accessible by local roads and sits within an area featuring multiple historical bridges to explore. Visitors should use caution during wet seasons as the wooden surfaces can become slippery.
The structure received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and stands among 31 covered bridges in Parke County.
