Johnson Creek Covered Bridge alongside Route 1029 near Burika, Robertson County. 1874.
On Oct. 31, 2003 it was announced that this bridge would have to be taken down for renovations because of severe damage from flooding. It has been flooded, burned, and vandalized, and it is leaning to one side. In April 2007 the paperwork for restoration work was signed. On June 30, 2007, a metal and wood truss system was installed to support the bridge during restoration work and Phase I of the restoration has been completed. In November 2007 it was reported that Phase II funding for the $1 million restoration project has still not materialized. The grant was reapplied for, but it may be July 2008 before the announcement is made.
