List of covered bridges in Kentucky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of covered bridges in Kentucky. There are eleven surviving authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Kentucky, and they are all historic.[1] A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges. There once were hundreds of these in Kentucky.
