Academia Pomeroy Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Spruce Hill and Beale Townships, Pennsylvania.
The Academia Pomeroy Covered Bridge is a covered bridge with two wooden spans that crosses Tuscarora Creek. It has a single traffic lane and represents the wooden bridge-building style typical of that period.
It was built in 1902 by James M. Groninger following floods that destroyed an earlier wooden crossing in 1901. The new structure solved the need for reliable passage across this creek.
The bridge represents construction methods that were common in rural Pennsylvania during the early 1900s. It shows how local builders designed wooden structures to last through seasonal water changes.
The bridge sits at the corner of Covered Bridge Road and Mill Street, roughly a mile east of Tuscarora Academy. It can be reached easily by car or on foot from the surrounding roads.
This structure ranks among the longest remaining covered bridges in its state. Its size made it a noteworthy example of bridge engineering for its time.
