Bell Ford Bridge, a ruined covered bridge in Jackson County, Indiana, was built in 1869 to carry a former alignment of State Road 258 over the East Fork of the White River. Measuring 325 feet and built in two sections, it was an important example of a transitional bridge design that combined iron tensile members with wooden compression members. It remained in everyday use until 1970, carrying both automobiles and animals. After long decline, its spans collapsed in 1999 and 2006, leaving no standing example of the combination-variant Post truss anywhere in the world and prompting debate over whether its remains should be rebuilt locally or elsewhere.
