Simpson Creek Covered Bridge is located in Bridgeport, West Virginia, crossing Simpson Creek off Meadowbrook Road near the entrance to the Meadowbrook Mall. The 14.25-foot-wide (4.34 m), 75-foot-long (23 m) multiple-kingpost truss bridge was built in 1881 by Asa Hugill. The current location of the bridge is not the original location. It was washed out by a flood in July 1889 and later relocated to its current location a half-mile upstream from its original spot. The Simpson Creek and Fletcher Covered Bridges, are the only two remaining covered bridges in Harrison County, are examples of this truss design.

Thomas S. Spates, appointed by the Harrison County Court as a commissioner to
examine a site, prepare specifications, and receive bids for the construction af
a bridge across Simpson Creek near Shims Mills, made a report to the court on
September 9, 1881 concerning his progress. After he informed the court that Asa
S. Hugill submitted the lowest bid, ($700.00 for the woodwork and $4.00/perch
for the wingwalls and abutments, the court awarded Mr. Hugill the contract. The
same day, the court appointed Thomas S. Spates to superintend the construction of
the bridge, and ordered that John Lowe be awarded $40.00 for land taken for right-
of-way.
On December 6, 1881, following Spates' report to the court that Hugill had
built the bridge according to the plans and specifications, the court ordered
that Hugill be paid a total of $1483.00, $442.00 of which was to be given to
John Lowe. Spates was paid $30.00 for his services as a commnissioner (2).
A flood washed out the bridge in July, 1999. The bridge was brought back
upstream and reconstructed at its present location, which is approximately onehalf
mile below its original site.
