Yatesville Covered Bridge
Transportation
Yatesville Covered Bridge stood near Fallsburg in eastern Kentucky, crossing Blaine Creek just off Yatesville Road. Built in 1907 as a 128-foot single-span Howe truss, it was sided in board-and-batten and roofed with corrugated tin. By the mid-20th century it was the last surviving one of three known covered bridges in Lawrence County. A 1965 letter-writing campaign saved it from demolition, and it was later bypassed, repaired, painted red, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 after closing to vehicle traffic. Nearby stood a U.S. Geological Survey cable car used to measure creek flow. The bridge collapsed in May 1986 and was removed.
