LITTLE RACCOON CREEK
PARKE COUNTY
BUILT - 1856
Length - 144'..... 2.5 miles SW of Waveland. South on Ind SR-50 1.5 miles to R. County Rd 650N, bridge approx, 2 miles west. Originally built over Big Raccoon Creek at the village of Portland Mills, this bridge was scheduled for demolition in 1961 with the formation of Cecil M. Harden Lake. The bridge was spared this fate when it was decided to move it to the site of the Dooley Station Covered Bridge that had been destroyed by arson the previous year. Unfortunately the secluded location and lack of maintenance contributed to the bridge falling into disrepair. After being closed to traffic in 1982, and then surviving an arson attempt, plans were still made to restore the bridge after the fire. Although one of the portals collapsed, the truss members remained intact and the bridge was restored in 1996. Added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1978. Open to through traffic. Truss Type - Covered Single Span Burr Arch.

THORNAPPLE RIVER
KENT COUNTY
BUILT - 1867
Length - 125'....In town park S. edge of Ada. Bridge was constructed by William Holmes for a sum of $3000. Partial restoration work was carried out in 1913 to modify the trusses, and replace the timber abutments with reinforced concrete. The bridge was part of an important artery to the village of Ada until 1930, when the main highway was rerouted and a concrete bridge built further down the Thornapple River. At that time the bridge was closed to automobile traffic, reverting to pedestrian use only. The original bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Unfortunately due to heavy snow damage and then major destruction due to arson, bridge was basically rebuilt using original designs in 1980. Closed to through traffic.
