Bunker Hill Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Claremont, United States.
The Bunker Hill Covered Bridge spans 91 feet across Lyle Creek, featuring a wooden structure with a tin-shingled roof and Haupt truss engineering design.
Built in 1895 by Andrew Loretz Ramsour, the bridge was constructed on the Island Ford Road, which previously served as a Native American trail.
The bridge represents American rural engineering practices from the late 19th century and remains under the care of the Catawba County Historical Association since 1985.
Located in Connor Park along US Highway 70, the bridge offers free parking facilities and allows visitors to explore the structure through self-guided tours.
This structure stands as one of only two remaining covered bridges in North Carolina and contains the last known wooden Haupt truss design in the United States.
