Why we went

We had just filmed Johnston Covered Bridge when we learned Hannaway Covered Bridge was right around the corner. It was too close—and too interesting—to pass up.

What drew us in was the construction: the exposed timber work, unusual shape, and the chance to see another historic bridge still standing where it was built.

“The construction is what impressed us—and it is still standing in its original location.”

— What stood out to us

WHAT WE FOUND

A bridge built for its bend in the road

Hannaway still spans Clear Creek at its original crossing and rests on its original sandstone abutments. Its most distinctive feature is a canopy on only one side—a practical design that once helped travelers see approaching traffic where the road curved.
