Oakdale, CA 95361
The Knights Ferry Covered Bridge in Oakdale, CA is a historic landmark that is currently nominated for inclusion in the Library of Congress. Built in 1864, it is recognized as the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi River and is a perfect example of 19th-century bridge-building technology. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District, the bridge has been well-preserved and is admired for its Howe truss design.
Architects from the Historic American Engineering Record have surveyed the bridge and praised the Corps for its care of the structure and the surrounding area. The bridge, which was closed to regular vehicle traffic in 1981, is in great shape and is considered a great specimen for inclusion as a historic landmark. With its classic features and historical significance, the Knights Ferry Covered Bridge is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those interested in 19th-century engineering.
