}}Mary's River Covered Bridge is a covered bridge which crosses Marys River {{convert|4|mi|km}} northeast of Chester, Illinois. The Burr truss bridge is {{convert|86|ft}} long and {{convert|17|ft|8|in}} wide. The bridge was built in 1854 as part of a plank toll road connecting Chester to Bremen; the bridge allowed agricultural products to be transported to Chester, a significant port on the Mississippi River. In the early 1870s, the toll road and the bridge were sold to Randolph County.[2] The bridge served road traffic until 1930.[3]

In 1936, the State of Illinois assumed ownership of the bridge in order to preserve it. The bridge is now located in a picnic area and park on the south side of Illinois Route 150. It is the only extant covered bridge in Southern Illinois.[3]

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.[1]
