August 18, 2020: Anita Larkin Ford has passed along this information from the Trib Live website. Renatta Signorini is reporting that the Bells Mill Covered Bridge was reopened last week.
Fortunately the damage to the bridge deck was minor. Repairs were confined to replacing some decking. Work was completed quickly and the bridge was put back in service.
The bridge was damaged on July 31 and closed at that time due to a few holes burned thru the decking.
