Historic covered bridges such as this one are traditional in the area, and it is great to see them maintained. The Bissel Covered Bridge was built in 1881. By the mid-20th century the bridge was due to be replaced by a modern steel and concrete structure. The local town opposed the new structure, and the original bridge was rebuilt and kept to the original specifications. The bridge still features a wooden structure and wooden floor.
