Notes
  • Burr truss, 1 span, 207'
  • Significance: The Jackson Bridge was built in 1861 by J.J. Daniels. It spans Sugar Creek and is of double Burr construction. It has survived all major floods. This includes the flood of late March, 1913; although the accompanying hurricane force winds did strip the roof of its wood shingles. This bridge has the unusual feature of a corner stone which bears this inscription: "Builder J.J. Daniels 1861." The Jackson Bridge, which spans 207 feet, is the third longest single-span covered bridge in the United States, but is the longest single-span still in use.

Jackson Bridge is the oldest surviving example of the work of J.J. Daniels, one of Indiana's most prolific covered bridge builders. It is an outstanding example of the truss system patented by Theodore Burr in 1806. With a span of 207', the Jackson Bridge is the nation's longest single span bridge that still carries vehicular traffic.
