Mount Zion Covered Bridge
The Mount Zion Covered Bridge, near Mooresville, Kentucky, was built in 1871. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
It is a Burr truss covered bridge.
The bridge was built long.
It spans the Little Beech Fork.
It is located north of Mooresville on Kentucky Route 458.
During the 2015-2017 restoration of the Beech Fork Bridge it was determined by the contractor, Arnold M. Graton Associates of Ashland, New Hampshire, that the arches were a very early modification to the bridge. As such, Beech Fork is now correctly classified as a Multiple Kingpost Truss with added arches.
Beech Fork, Mooresville, and Mount Zion are all accepted names for the bridge. Mount Zion appears to be the most used historic name.
