Billie Creek Covered Bridge
Billie Creek Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Parke County, Indiana.
Billie Creek Covered Bridge is a wooden bridge crossing Williams Creek with a Burr Arch truss design and sandstone foundation. The structure spans 62 feet (19 meters) and sits east of Rockville in Parke County.
Joseph J. Daniels built this bridge in 1895 for $820 to replace an earlier wooden structure from 1880. It survived the modernization wave of the 1900s when many similar bridges in the region were demolished.
The bridge stands as part of Billie Creek Village, where numerous historical buildings have been relocated to create an educational heritage site.
Access to the bridge may be temporarily restricted during special events or heavy visitor traffic. Visitors should watch for local notices and plan alternative routes if maintenance or safety work is underway.
This bridge escaped demolition because the road was rerouted away from it, while similar structures elsewhere were torn down. The fortunate detour saved it from the fate that befell many neighboring bridges during the modernization wave.
