Williams Bridge

Williams Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in southern Indiana that spans the East Fork of the White River near Williams. Built in 1884 by Joseph “J.J.” Daniels, it uses a Howe truss design and consists of two spans totaling 373 feet, making it one of the state’s larger surviving covered bridges. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, it was then the longest covered bridge in Indiana still open to vehicular traffic, a distinction that reflected both its size and its continued everyday use. Closed to traffic in 2010, it remains a notable survivor of Indiana’s covered-bridge era.
