Oakachoy Covered Bridge
Oakachoy Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Nixburg, Alabama.
The Oakachoy Covered Bridge stretched 56 feet across Oakachoy Creek on Newman Road, featuring a Queen-post truss design made from homemade timber.
Constructed in 1916 for 400 dollars, the bridge received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its structural significance.
The bridge connected the communities of Rockford in Coosa County and Dadeville in Tallapoosa County, serving as a vital link between these county seats.
The wooden structure included specific design elements to protect its structural components from rain and weather, extending its operational lifespan.
After vandals burned the bridge in 2001, only stone foundations and a charred wooden post remain at the site where pioneer wagons crossed Oakachoy Creek.
