Types of transportation in Licking County


Covered Bridges

Licking County is crisscrossed by rivers, creeks, and at one time, canals. Because of this geographical characteristic, the county is home to a large number of bridges. In years past, Licking County could boast over 150 wood truss bridges. It’s possible that there were even more at one time, but unfortunately the Licking County Commissioners’ Journals are missing from the years 1866-1875, so we do not know for certain how many bridges were built during that time. The following is a list of just some of the covered bridges that could be found throughout Licking County.

Moscow Bridge

The Moscow Bridge was a two-lane Town truss bridge that crossed the South Fork of the Licking River on the National Road near Hebron. It was the only bridge of its kind along the National Road. The well-known bridge was demolished in 1929.
