Parts Of Bell Ford Covered Bridge Could Be Used On Future Walking Trail

Last updated on Tuesday, December 9, 2014

(SEYMOUR) - The city of Seymour might have use for at least some of the remaining pieces of the Bell Ford covered bridge.

Officials hope to be able to incorporate a portion of the bridge, which collapsed and fell into the East Fork White River, in the design of a future walking trail on the city's south side near Freeman Field Park.

Segments of the bridge have been in storage in Jackson and Greene counties since the west span fell into the river in 1999. The east span collapsed seven years later in 2006.
