Notes
  • Significance: The Bunker Hill Bridge is the only surviving historic covered bridge in North Carolina and the only surviving Haupt truss covered bridge in the United States. Though it never reached the mainstream of bridge building, the Haupt truss is of engineering interest as an innovative example of mid-nineteenth century bridge engineering, as well as for its associations with Gen. Herman Haupt, a prominent nineteenth century civil engineer who did pioneering work in the structural analysis of bridges.
