| Dennis DeBruler commented on Mike's post It is good that you got photos of these bridges. This truss is also gone. This aerial is an Apr 2014 image from Google Earth. The next image, Jun 2016, doesn't have the bridge. https://maps.app.goo.gl/iF6jtf5odymrGamT8 |
The replacement road and bridge is built above the flood stage.

| Lisa Ruble posted Old Bridge at Bernadotte. This 1910 bridge replaced the 1840s covered bridge that stood there. See two pictures of the covered bridge in the comments. Spoon River Fulton County I took this picture on one of my Illinois road trips - February 2026 |

| Lisa Ruble commented on her post FULTON COUNTY This covered bridge spanned Spoon River and was built entirely without the use of steel or iron. The stone for the abutments was quarried from the vicinity; the selected timber that went to the making of the superstructure was brought from the woods near by having been hewed into shape where it fell; wooden pins bound together the remarkable trusses. The old, covered bridge at Bernadotte was replaced by a modern structure in 1910. |

Justin Fogerty posted a 2:20 drone video and six photos. The drone video includes the Camp Ellis Spoon River Dam that is just upstream from this bridge. It also flies over the fallen segment that is now on land.
