The Medora Covered Bridge is the longest-spanning (abutment face to abutment face) historic covered bridge in the United States with a clear span length of 430'4". It was built in 1875 by J.J. Daniels at a cost of $18,142.00 and took nine months to build.The bridge was covered to protect the truss from the elements. Before the bridge was built people crossed the river by ferry. The fact that It is closed to vehicle traffic makes it ideal for exploring the many facets that make up a covered bridge The truss did not need to be upgraded to handle modern vehicle traffic so it can be seen in the original state. There are a few repairs to the truss but no alterations There is ample parking at both ends. The west end has a parking area large enough for RV's to turn around and a nice grassy area with picnic tables. ==Location== The Medora Covered Bridge is located in Carr Township in Jackson County, Indiana and crosses the East Fork of the White River running parallel to State Road 235. It is approximately one mile east of Medora and nine miles southwest of Brownstown.
