Covered Bridge Rd., 1 mi. N of Five Corners at Hwys. 60 and 143, Ozaukee County 

This bridge was built by the Town of Cedarburg on petition of neighboring farmers to replace periodically washed-out bridges. Pine logs, cut and milled at Baraboo, were fitted and set in place in lattice-truss construction with 3-by-10-inch planks secured by 2-inch hardwood pins, eliminating the use of nails or bolts, and floored by 3-inch planking. The Ozaukee County board in 1940 voted to assume the preservation and maintenance of this bridge.
