Description
Autumn scene at Cox Ford Bridge in Parke County, Indiana. This single span Burr Arch truss structure has a length of 160 ft (49 m), or 176 ft (54 m) including the 8 ft (2.4 m) overhang at each end, with a portal clearance 16 ft (4.9 m) wide by 13 ft (4.0 m) in height. Built in 1913 by Joseph A. Britton, the Cox Ford Covered Bridge has a rather unusual distinction as it was built to replace a steel bridge lost in the 1913 flood; the arches used to construct this structure were from the Armiesburg Covered Bridge, built 60 years earlier and also washed out during the 1913 flood. This old gem spans Sugar Creek, in Parke County, in the western part of the state.
