Darlington Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Montgomery County, US.
The Darlington Covered Bridge extends 166 feet across Sugar Creek, featuring a wooden structure supported by limestone abutments at both ends of the span.
Construction superintendent Richard M. Epperson and builder Joseph Kress completed this transportation link in 1868 using local donations and materials from the surrounding area.
The bridge represents nineteenth-century American engineering methods through its Howe truss design, which incorporated both wood and metal components for structural stability.
Located at the intersection of County Roads 500 North and 600 East, the bridge ceased vehicle traffic operations in 1976 and maintains its status as a historical site.
The structure combines oak and poplar wood materials with limestone foundations, demonstrating the integration of local natural resources in nineteenth-century infrastructure.
