This covered bridge is in Franklin County, Indiana on the Enochsburg Road. The bridge was built by the Smith Bridge Company from Toledo, Ohio. The Smith Bridge Company was a large and very prolific bridge construction company, building bridges all over the Midwest.
Also known as the Enochsburg Road Bridge
Graffiti is a problem on this bridge

This bridge is not very long, at just over 100 feet in length. The covered Howe through truss system used by Smith was also used by other builders, including Hardman. The bridge spans over Salt Creek on the Enochsburg Road. It was constructed in 1887 and underwent an extensive “rehabilitation” project in 2009. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 2002

I can see a best-seller coming up.
These bridges are fascinating and most people are unaware of their origins and utilities.
Best of luck. Cheers

Another beautiful bridge, and how sad that local hooligans are spray bombing it. Some kids today need to be deported!

It is very odd that this bridge has drawn so much spray painted graffiti. There must not be any group taking care of the bridge, or they have no one that cares.

Thank you for showing this bridge. I’ve only been to covered bridges in Iowa and Missouri. Your pictures are very nice. I’ve never been to Indiana, so it’s great to see this post.

There are over 90 covered bridges left in Indiana. You’ll have to come and see some of them sometime! Check out bridgehunter.com website. It has nearly every historic bridge in the country listed. Easy to search by type, date, builder, locations etc.
