 covered bridge, 1880_construction

The Traders Point Covered Bridge originally crossed Fishback Creek near the community of Traders Point in Marion County. Built by Josiah Durfee in 1880, construction of Interstate 65 necessitated its removal and it was moved to the D. W. Brown Farm nearby. This single span Howe Truss structure is 88 feet long, or 108 feet including the 10-foot overhang at each end, is 14 feet wide and 13 feet high. The Traders Point Covered Bridge is the last of the old covered bridges still standing in Marion County.
