Williams Bridge, Historic covered footbridge in Lawrence County, Indiana.
The Williams Bridge spans 373 feet across the East Fork of the White River, featuring a wooden Howe truss design with 14.7 feet deck width.
Joseph J. Daniels constructed this double-span covered bridge in 1884, making it a significant engineering achievement for transportation in nineteenth-century Indiana.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized Williams Bridge in 1981 for its representation of American bridge construction methods and regional development.
