Dave Shuffett returns to the newly restored Cabin Creek Bridge in Lewis County, which he last visited in the Kentucky Life special "Covered Bridges of Kentucky."

The Cabin Creek Bridge, one of Kentucky's 13 remaining covered bridges, reopened again in 2014 after $1.2 million restoration. Built in 1873, it was closed to traffic in 1983. The bridge is located 4.5 miles northwest of Tollesboro on Kentucky Highway 984.

The bridge spans 114 feet. The original builder, William Henderson, is buried near the site of the bridge.
