The {{convert|160|ft|4|in|adj=on}} Howe truss bridge is only {{convert|10|ft|7|in}} wide, making it the narrowest covered bridge in Illinois. The bridge was constructed in 1868; it was built in Michigan, shipped to Shelbyville, and hauled to the river crossing by horse-drawn wagons. The road the bridge carried was an important transportation corridor connecting Springfield, Taylorville, and Effingham. The bridge also provided area residents access to the Thompson Mill, a corn mill and sawmill which operated from 1843 to 1914.[2] The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1975.[1] It is now one of only five historic covered bridges remaining in Illinois. The bridge has been closed to automobile traffic but remains open to pedestrians.[3] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{Illinois-NRHP-stub}}{{Illinois-bridge-struct-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Mulgrew|first=John C.|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Thompson Mill Covered Bridge|url=http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/200648.pdf|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=October 16, 2013|date=September 18, 1972}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Thompson Mill Covered Bridge|url=http://www.robinhoodwoods.com/shelbyvillethompsonmillcoveredbridge.htm#.Ul416sZ02So|publisher=Robin Hood Woods Campground & Resort|accessdate=October 16, 2013}} 8 : Covered bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|Bridges completed in 1868|Buildings and structures in Shelby County, Illinois|Covered bridges in Illinois|National Register of Historic Places in Shelby County, Illinois|Road bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|Wooden bridges in Illinois|Howe truss bridges in the United States |
