Honey Run Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge crossing Butte Creek, in Butte County, northern California.
It is located on Honey Run Road at Centerville Road, about halfway in between Chico and Paradise.
History
The wooden Honey Run Bridge was originally built in 1886, and was later covered in 1894.
The bridge was open to vehicular traffic until a car crashed into and damaged it in 1965. An new steel bridge was built upstream for vehicular traffic.
The covered bridge is now used as a pedestrian footbridge, protected within Honey Run Covered Bridge County Park. It was rebuilt from the ruins and opened in 1972.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
