Nectar Covered Bridge
}}
The Nectar Covered Bridge was a wood and metal combination style covered bridge which spanned the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River in Blount County, Alabama, United States. It was located on Nectar Bridge Road off State Route 160, just east of the town of Nectar, about 14 miles (16 kilometers) northwest of Oneonta. Built in 1932, the bridge was at one time the seventh-longest covered bridge in the country. The bridge remained open to single lane motor traffic from its construction until it was burned by vandals on June 13, 1993.
==History==
Built in 1932, the 385-foot (117-meter) bridge was a Town Lattice truss construction over four spans. It was built by a crew led by Zelma C. Tidwell and uncle Forrest Tidwell over a wide section of the Locust Fork.〔 ''See also:'' 〕 It was the second-longest covered bridge built in Blount County, to the latter constructed 432-foot (132-meter) Standridge Covered Bridge near Hayden, which burned down in 1967. At one time, the Nectar Covered Bridge was the seventh longest covered bridge in the country. The bridge was burned by vandals on June 13, 1993. It was maintained by the Blount County Commission and the Alabama Department of Transportation. The Nectar Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 1981.〔
The bridge was once a community meeting place and a site for large baptism ceremonies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://maxshores.com/bridges-to-the-past/ )〕 A concrete bridge has since replaced the former covered bridge, but the old stone piers remain across the river south of the current crossing.
