Hogback Covered Bridge

The Hogback Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge near Winterset, Iowa. Named after a nearby limestone ridge, it was built in 1884 by Harvey P. Jones and George K. Foster over the North River on Douglas Township Road. The bridge was designed with a Town lattice truss system. It was built with steel pylons to support the main span.

The Hogback Bridge was originally one of 19 covered bridges in Madison County; there are only six remaining covered bridges in the county. In 1992, the bridge was rehabilitated for the cost of $118,810 ($ today). The Hogback Covered Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
