Covered Bridges in West Virginia.

🍁The Barrackville Covered Bridge spans 145 feet (44 m) in a single span across Buffalo Creek near Barrackville, West Virginia. Built in 1853 by local bridge builder Lemuel Chenoweth, the structure is a modified arched Burr truss, with siding added twenty years after the bridge's construction.

🍁Locust Creek Covered Bridge is the only remaining covered bridge in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. It is located approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) outside Hillsboro. The bridge is now for pedestrian traffic only. R. N. Bruce was contracted in 1870 to build the wooden covered bridge. The span over Locust Creek was 13.5 feet (4.1 m) wide and 114 feet (35 m) long.

🍁Philippi Covered Bridge, on the Tygart Valley River, is the main local landmark and historical icon of Philippi, West Virginia, USA. The celebrated bridge was commissioned by the General Assembly of Virginia and constructed in 1852. The Philippi Covered Bridge is the oldest and longest covered bridge in West Virginia and one of only two remaining in Barbour County. It is also the only covered bridge serving the US Federal Highway system (U.S. Route 250).
