The West Union Covered Bridge is a two-span Burr Arch Truss structure built by Joseph J. Daniels in 1876 to carry Tow Path Road over Sugar Creek north-northeast of Montezuma, Indiana. At 315 feet, it is the longest standing covered bridge in Parke County and is recognized as one of the nation's best-preserved examples of the Burr truss. The bridge was bypassed in 1964.
