Cedarburg Covered Bridge

The wooden bridge extends 120 feet across Cedar Creek, featuring a combination of pine construction with oak lattices and traditional timber framing techniques.

Local farmers requested the bridge construction in 1876 to replace previous structures that had washed away during flooding periods in Ozaukee County.

The bridge remains as the final covered bridge in Wisconsin, representing nineteenth-century engineering methods with wooden pegs instead of metal fasteners.

Visitors can access the bridge through Covered Bridge Park, which provides picnic areas, restrooms, drinking water facilities, and fishing opportunities.

The structure moved 50 feet east from its original position in 1962 to preserve its condition, while a modern bridge took over vehicle traffic.
