Medora Covered Bridge

The Medora Covered Bridge was the longest covered bridge in the United states with the entire original historic truss still in place with some repairs but no structural changes. Measuring the clear span (abutment face to abutment face) of 431 feet 10 inches (131.62 m), the Medora Covered Bridge is the longest historic covered bridge in the United States. The roof length of 461 feet (141 m) and the siding at the floor length of 459 feet (140 m) are also the longest historic covered bridge measurements in the U.S.
