King Covered Bridge

King Covered Bridge is a wooden bridge with a Queenpost truss design that crosses Hoover Run in Wayne Township. The structure features traditional timber construction and a covered gable roof that has been maintained in its original form.

This bridge was built in the nineteenth century as a vital transportation connection for local communities. It remains one of nine surviving covered bridges in Greene County.

The bridge reflects the period when covered bridges were essential elements of rural American infrastructure, protecting travelers and their horses from adverse weather conditions.

The bridge is located south of Kuhntown and can be reached via local roads. Visitors can view and photograph the original structural elements from nearby access points.

The bridge spans 0.1 acres and maintains its status on the National Register of Historic Places since June 1979, preserving its engineering and architectural characteristics.
