Beeson Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Rockville, United States
The Beeson Covered Bridge spans 55 feet over Williams Creek, featuring wooden construction with concrete foundations and a Burr arch truss design.
Built in 1906 by the Frankfort Construction Company, the bridge was relocated from its original location on County Road 216 to Billie Creek Village in 1979.
The structure bears the name of the Beeson family, who owned land near its original location, rather than following the common practice of naming bridges after waterways.
Currently situated in Billie Creek Village along US 36, the bridge serves pedestrian traffic only and maintains a clearance height of 12.5 feet.
The bridge survived two separate arson attempts in August 1979 before its successful relocation to its current position over Williams Creek.
