Mud River Covered Bridge, Historical covered bridge in Milton, United States.
The Mud River Covered Bridge extends 112 feet in length and 14 feet in width, featuring a modified Howe truss structure with wooden components and iron tie-rods.
Built in 1876 during Milton's development period, the bridge served as a vital transportation link following the arrival of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway in the region.
The structure stands as one of only seventeen remaining covered bridges in West Virginia, representing the engineering methods of 19th-century American bridge construction.
The bridge now resides at Pumpkin Park in Milton, where visitors can cross it on foot while exploring the grounds of the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival.
This bridge remains the last example of a Howe truss covered bridge design in West Virginia, incorporating both wooden trusses and supporting wooden arch elements.
