According to the linked webpage below,
"The Moscow Covered Bridge crosses Big Flatrock River in Sections 17 and 18, Township 12 North, and Range 9 East, in Moscow, Rush County. This double span Burr Arch Truss structure has a length of 330 feet, or 346 feet including the 8-foot overhang at each end, with a portal clearance 15 feet 6 inches wide by 13 feet 6 inches high. Built in 1886 by Emmet L. Kennedy, this is the only double span bridge still standing which the Kennedy family constructed. This bridge was listed as #17-70-07 in the 1972 World Guide."
