Comments:
10-10N-11E. 9-panel truss. The Stockheughter Covered Bridge, also known as the Enochsburg Covered Bridge, was built in 1887 by the Smith Bridge Company. The bridge received TEA Grant of $500,000 in 2002 for restoration. Jim Barker was selected as the engineer for the project. Enochsburg was named in honor of Enoch Abraham who, with Mike Powers, was the first settler of that town. This structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
