Historic Bible Covered Bridge

Bible Covered Bridge is located in Warrensburg. It was built in 1923 as private bridge for the Bible Family. The Greene County Heritage Trust took control of the bridge around 1972 and rehabilitated the Bridge, in 1987-1988 the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Greene County and The Federal Highway Administration built a new bridge adjacent to the covered bridge, The project also added rip-rat to the covered bridge and built a pull-off/parking area to provide access to the bridge. The state added off set railings to keep vehicular traffic away from the bridge and to further allow pedestrians to use the bridge. It is maintained as a State Historic Site.[2]
