Covered bridge · Madison County, Iowa
Cedar Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Madison County, Iowa. Iowa has 9 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 7 of them in Madison County.
It was built in 2019, in the postwar decades, making it the 7th oldest of the 7 in Iowa with a recorded construction date.
Status check, 2026-11: Today's bridge is a 2019 replica: the original 1883 bridge burned in a 2002 arson, and its 2004 replica burned in a second arson in 2017, so the record's 1883 date is outdated; length was left null because sources say 76 ft but county tourism gives a 78 ft span. Cedar Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 41.3647° N, 93.9900° W.
