The New Covered Bridge

On June 3, 2008, a devastating tornado swept through Moscow, Indiana and the surrounding community. The force of the tornado dislodged the bridge from its abutments and sent it crashing into the Flatrock River below. Immediately following the storm, the County Commissioners took swift action to salvage and preserve as much of the bridge's structure as possible with the hope of rebuilding the bridge in its original location. To anyone that has ever had any curiosity about how a Covered Bridge was built (at least with the technology that existed in 2010) this book is for you. One of my goals is that this book will answer most of those questions. I have included some unique sections that will provide you with facts about the bridge's construction and some of the engineering drawings that were specific to this bridge. There is a representation of the community fund raising plaque that is posted inside the bridge, along with the facts of the construction. I have included photos of the dedication ceremony.Along with the details of the Moscow Bridge, Ed has included photos and information on 15 other Covered Bridges in Southeast Indiana which make for excellent day trips while you are in the area.
