Swann Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Cleveland, Alabama
The Swann Covered Bridge extends 324 feet over the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River with three spans and a Town lattice truss design.
Constructed in 1933, this wooden bridge served as a vital connection between Cleveland and the community of Joy before its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The structure represents early 20th-century engineering methods and stands as a testament to rural American transportation development in Blount County.
Located on Swann Bridge Road off State Route 79, the bridge accommodates single-lane motor traffic and underwent a $540,000 restoration in 2012.
This bridge became Alabama's longest existing covered bridge after the destruction of the Nectar Covered Bridge in 1993.
