Bartonsville Covered Bridge found downstream

Those Isaac Towne Truss bridges are stronger than you think, it might be salvageable even if it can't go back on the original site.

I agree with you, it is sad because of how long it survived. It was a piece of history washed away.

Ah, this is like seeing an old friend drowned! Sad! Hope it can be rebuilt with the pieces.

Thanks for trekking over to get this shot. Gives us a bit of hope that some of it can be salvaged for the rebuild. I meant to go over but could not get up the courage to see it all in a pile in person. the town will try to get it out but they are still busy with flood recovery.

The same thing happened to a covered bridge near my home, but it has been rebuilt using timbers from the original bridge.

very sad. Hopefully some of the bridge components can be saved and used to rebuild the bridge. I did hear on the news that the bridge was insured, so it will be rebuilt, although it will not be the same as the original
