} |} The Locust Creek Covered Bridge is the only remaining covered bridge in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. It is located approximately outside Hillsboro. The bridge is now for pedestrian traffic only. == History == R. N. Bruce was contracted in 1870 to build the wooden covered bridge for US$1,250. The Warren Double Intersection truss covered bridge was completed later that year. The span over Locust Creek was wide and long. In 1888, the original bridge was replaced. In 1904 it was rebuilt again by W. M. Irvine. Interior supports, trusses, side paneling and roof were replaced during the reconstruction. In 1968, the bridge was painted and new oak floor was installed. Temporary supports used during the floor replacement were left in place. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981〔 In 1990, the state of West Virginia bypassed the covered bridge with a modern concrete span. In 2002, the covered bridge was renovated into a pedestrian crossing and the temporary supports were removed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Locust Creek Covered Bridge (West Virginia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
