Lyle Covered Bridge is in a beautiful part of the county, right on
the border of the State Gamelands.
This Washington County
bridge is tucked away in a remote, quiet valley along a gravel
township road. This bridge of Queenpost design spans Brush Run
and is the shortest covered bridge in the county. It is 13
feet long and 12 feet wide. Although the year of the bridge's
construction is unknown, there is an inspection record which
traced the maintenance of the Lyle from 1915 until sometime in
the mid 1930's. According to this record, the county made
repairs to this bridge of typical Washington County design,
with its vertical plank siding and tin-covered gable roof, in
1920. This bridge also has a deck of crosswise planking, three
windows on each side, in addition to the fairly wide eave
openings. The entire structure rests on stone-and-mortar
abutments which have been extended to form short wingwalls.
Some of the barn red vertical board siding is missing on the
sides and portals.
