There are nine authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Illinois. Five of them are historic. [1] A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge in Illinois is a four-lane bidirectional road bridge that spans the Illinois River, Illinois Route 351, Illinois and Michigan Canal, and local roads and railroads. It carries Interstate 39 (I-39), a major north-south Interstate through central Illinois, and its U.S. Route counterpart, U.S. Route 51 (US 51).
Sugar Creek Covered Bridge is a covered bridge which crosses Sugar Creek southeast of Chatham, Illinois. The Burr truss bridge is 110 feet (34 m) long and 30 feet (9.1 m) wide. [ 2 ] The bridge was constructed by Thomas Black; sources disagree on the date of construction, placing it at either 1827 or 1880.
The covered bridge has a span of 60 feet (18 m). As of 2008, the covered bridge is one of only four covered bridges remaining in Illinois that are classified as original. The bridge has been rebuilt several times, reusing the original timbers. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [3]
In 1950 the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) recognized the bridge for its architectural significance. HABS recommended preservation of the bridge. [6] The Illinois General Assembly set aside $20,000 for bridge restoration in 1951, and in 1953 the bridge was named after Major General Dean. [4]
