Carries CH 21 Before being bypassed over Buffalo Creek
Design: truss/through/burr
Design Details: "The Barrackville Covered Bridge is a single-span modified Burr arch truss wooden covered bridge on a drylaid sandstone abutment. The total length of the truss is 146'-3" with a clear span length of 131'-8". The truss is 11'-8" high center-to-center of the chords and 17'-11" wide center-to-center of the trusses, with a roadway width of 15'-6". Clapboard siding covers the exterior, and standing-seam metal roofing covers the gable roof.
"The bridge is poplar and oak framed in the manner patented by Theodore Burr in 1817. The principal structural components are a pair of hewn timber segmented arches framed into and around a pair of multiple kingpost trusses to create an indeterminate composite timber structure.
"Built as part of Virginia's network of turnpikes linking the Tidewater to the Trans-Allegheny regions, this example of the Burr truss demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship and knowledge of contemporary engineering design that went into many covered bridges."

One can discern from the text that the marker was placed before the bridge was bypassed and retired. A temporary bypass bridge was built 1987 and the permanent bypass bridge was constructed in 1991.

From the HEAR website: "Significance: The Barrackville Covered Bridge was built in 1853 as part of the Fairmont & Wheeling Turnpike. It is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of a Burr arch-truss, a system patented by Theodore Burr in 1817. It is one of three surviving examples of the work of Lemuel Chenowith, a prolific West Virginia builder. // Built as part of Virginia's network of turnpikes linking the Tidewater to the Trans-Allegheny regions, this example of the Burr truss demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship and knowledge of contemporary engineering design that went into many covered bridges."

Modern Bypass
Prof. Kevin Patrick, of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, says that when a straight road curves slightly, crosses a bridge, then returns to the original alignment, the bridge is a replacement, built next to its predecessor that is usually demolished. That observation is true here, except that the original bridge is extant.

My attempt at cleaning up the old image to get a better sense of what once was without the distraction of damage and fading. Still plenty of issues and I'm not overly skilled but it was a fun distraction. The original is already posted

A slight digital clean-up of the Library of Congress image
Slight digital clean-up of the image (sky and edges only) to reduce the effect of the right side damage and remove elements not part of the original image. Note this image is listed as 1852 and the other is listed as 1857/1858; it appears to be the same group of people and was likely taken on same day in 1857.
