The Moscow Covered Bridge is a covered bridge of Burr Arch construction, 334 feet (102 m) long in two spans over Big Flat Rock River in Moscow, Indiana, a small unincorporated town in Rush County, Indiana. It is the third longest covered bridge in the state. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1983.〔 ==History==
The bridge was originally constructed in 1886 by the Emmett L. Kennedy firm that was responsible for many of Indiana's covered bridges. The Moscow bridge came to be the defining characteristic of the small community of Moscow, even providing the theme of an annual community festival. It was a devastating loss to the community when on June 3, 2008, a tornado destroyed the bridge and dropped its remnants into the Flatrock River. Local and state officials soon decided to rebuild the bridge. State prison inmates assisted in retrieving salvageable material from the old bridge from the river bed for reuse. The Dan McCollum and Sons firm was hired to manage the reconstruction of the bridge which was dedicated and reopened in September 2010.
