Carrollton Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Barbour County, US
The Carrollton Covered Bridge extends 140 feet over the Buckhannon River with a wooden structure protected by a roof and vertical siding.
Built in 1856 by Emmet and Daniel O'Brien, this bridge served as a transportation connection on the Middle Fork Turnpike linking regional roads.
The bridge represents mid-19th century engineering methods with its combination of Burr trusses and multiple Kingpost trusses spanning the waterway.
Located on West Virginia Route 36, the bridge maintains a one-lane concrete deck with a sidewalk supported by concrete piers and abutments.
Following an arson fire in 2017, the West Virginia Division of Highways restored the structure using both salvaged materials and new timber.
