Waggoner Covered Bridge

Waggoner Covered Bridge, also called Roddy's Mill Covered Bridge, stood in Perry County, Pennsylvania, over Bixler's Run between Northeast Madison Township and Tyrone Township. Built around 1889, it was a 74-foot Burr Truss bridge, a common nineteenth-century wooden design that combined an arch with a multiple-kingpost truss for added strength. Its historical significance was recognized when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and recorded as WGCB reference 38-50-15. The bridge remained an important survivor of this traditional bridge type until fire destroyed it on October 21, 2021.
