Colville Covered Bridge
Colville Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Bourbon County, Kentucky, US.
The Colville Covered Bridge spans 124 feet across Hinkston Creek, featuring a Burr truss design with multiple king-posts and panel posts spaced 10 feet apart.
Built in 1877 by Jacob Bower of the Maysville Bridge Company, this structure represents one of the last 13 covered bridges remaining from over 400 constructed in Kentucky.
The bridge stands 28 feet above water level and serves as a testament to 19th-century engineering methods, using yellow poplar wood in its original construction.
The structure maintains active automobile traffic with a deck width of 14 feet, primarily serving local residents and farm vehicles in rural Bourbon County.
Following its collapse from floodwaters in 1997, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 2001 using both salvaged materials and new components to preserve its authenticity.
