This is one of Alabama’s oldest covered bridges and was mentioned in a survey by the Colton Company that dates from the 1850’s. It is 115 feet long, 10 feet wide and a Howe and Queen post combination design truss system. The area around the bridge site is now a pioneer park, with a gristmill of the same era in Waldo Alabama.

The bridge was built at Riddle’s Mill, a gristmill operated by the Riddle brothers. This mill is located near Riddle’s Hole, an 1840 gold mine that continued operation until World War II.

Wilson’s Raiders used the Waldo Bridge during the Civil War. Not far down stream from the bridge was a foundry that produced cannon shot for the Confederacy. Like many of our covered bridges it has been protected with tin roofing but original construction was split shingle roofing.

To find this covered bridge travel about six miles southeast of Talladega on Highway 77, as you cross Talladega Creek at Riddle’s Mill the bridge is on your left behind the mill. This mill is operating as a restaurant of fine dining.
