Description: The historic covered bridge known as the Burkeville Covered Bridge serves as a passage for Main Poland Road over the South River in Conway, Massachusetts. Constructed likely around 1870, this bridge is a unique local specimen featuring a multiple kingrod design with iron tensioning verticals, which is a variation of the Howe truss system. It stands out as one of the few surviving 19th century covered bridges in Massachusetts, making it a significant piece of the region's heritage. Its significance led to its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
