The Medora Covered Bridge was the longest covered bridge in the United states with the entire original historic truss still in place with some repairs but no structural changes.[1][2] Measuring the clear span (abutment face to abutment face) of 431 feet 10 inches (131.62 m),[3] the Medora Covered Bridge is the longest historic covered bridge in the United States.[4][5] The roof length of 461 feet (141 m)[6] and the siding at the floor length of 459 feet (140 m)[7] are also the longest historic covered bridge measurements in the U.S.
