The SNOW HILL Bridge
World Guide #14-24-09
Crossing Johnson's Creek and constructed using a Howe truss, this structure was built by William Butts and John Horn in 1894. Restored 1987, this 83.5 foot long structure is open to traffic. The Snow Hill Covered Bridge has an unusual floor as the beams are turned on end making it a little reminiscent of a bowling alley.
THE SNOW HILL COVERED BRIDGE IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING RESTORATION AND IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED TO TRAFFIC.
