Notes
  • modified Pratt truss (4); 230' long; 3 span, combined wood & iron
  • Significance: The Honey Run Bridge is the best preserved of four surviving examples of Pratt-type wood covered bridges in the United States. The Pratt truss was patented by Thomas and Caleb Pratt in 1844 and featured wood compression members and iron tension members. The design, favored for its strength and adaptability, became the standard American truss for moderate spans on both railroads and highways by 1870 and remained so well into the twentieth century.
