Honeymoon Bridge, Wooden covered bridge in Jackson, United States.
The Honeymoon Bridge spans the Ellis River with a Paddleford truss design, featuring exposed wooden beams and a protected walkway for pedestrians.
Charles Austin Broughton and his son Frank constructed this bridge in 1876, applying carpentry skills gained during Charles' service in the Civil War.
The bridge received its name from a local tradition where couples kiss underneath the structure for good fortune, a practice documented since 1936.
The structure received fire protection systems and sprinklers in 2001 through a grant of 64,000 dollars to ensure long-term preservation.
This bridge stands as one of only twenty remaining examples of Paddleford truss architecture in the United States.
