    The 187-foot Oldtown Covered Bridge was built in 1880 in Greenup County, Kentucky.

     

    This two-span 187 ft. long bridge is a Multiple Kingpost through truss bridge over the Frazer Branch of Little Sandy Creek in Oldtown.  Completed in the 1880s at a cost of $4,000, it was first restored in the early '70s by the Green Thumb Program.   It was closed to vehicle traffic in 1985. It was restored again in 1999, although a  good deal of new material was used to reconstruct the bridge. 

     

    Oldtown Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
