The Billie Creek Covered Bridge is a Burr Arch structure that was built by Joseph J. Daniels in 1895. J.L. Van Fossen supplied the sandstone that makes up the abutments cut from A.E. Fuel's nearby quarry.^[1]^[2]

History

This bridge was built to replace the open wooden bridge that had been built by famed bridge builder J.A. Britton just 15 years earlier in 1880. It was built on what was then called the Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway, what would later become U.S. 36. Luckily it was saved because it was later bypassed when the road was rebuilt.^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.^[4]

After being bypassed by the main highway it would become a tourist attraction when it became part of Billie Creek Village where it is still open to vehicular traffic and only closed at busy times of the year for traffic control.^[1]
