TOWN CREEK
BEDFORD COUNTY
BUILT - 1879
Length - 88'.... Approx. 6 miles south of Chaneysville. S. Rt-326 (Chaneysville Rd.) approx. 6 miles to L. Town Creek Rd., 1/4 mile to L. Covered Bridge Rd., 1000' to bridge. Rehabilitated in 2000, the entire structure was taken apart, each timber and span numbered, and every piece that could be reused for the rehabilitation was reassembled in the new bridge. Because of the superior craftsmanship employed on the original bridge, 80% of the original structure members were able to be used for the rehabilitation. A steel reinforced under span was also put in place. A 1983 flood washed away a stone and mortar abutment, so both abutments were replaced in the rehabilitation with cement and stone facing to recreate the appearance of the original bridge. The total construction cost of the project was $617,000. Open to through traffic. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1980. Truss Type - Covered Low to Medium Low Burr Arch Truss.
