Coral Springs Covered Bridge was the first permanent structure built within the city by Coral Ridge Properties, developer of Coral Springs, in 1964. It withstood the eye of Hurricane Cleo in August 1964 without sustaining any damage. The 40-foot bridge has a single steel span, and its roof is composed of 25 truss rafters, cross braces, and stringers covered with shingles. It is the only covered bridge in Florida in the public right-of-way. Originally painted barn red, it was later given an appropriately weathered appearance when Coral Ridge Properties contacted the American Snuff Company of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which supplied two historical designs and an artist to paint the murals. The Bull of the Woods logo on the east side first appeared in 1876, and the Peach Sweet Snuff logo on the west side, designed to appeal to ladies, was introduced in 1950. Over the years, the bridge and murals have been restored, though they are difficult to see as trees have grown along the sides of the canal.
