List of covered bridges in Kentucky


Below is a list of covered bridges in Kentucky. There are eleven surviving authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Kentucky, and they are all historic.

An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges. There once were hundreds of these in Kentucky.
