Loux Covered Bridge, Wooden covered bridge in Plumstead Township, Pennsylvania, US
The Loux Covered Bridge is a wooden bridge spanning Cabin Run Creek in Plumstead Township with white exterior paint and a Town Truss design. The structure features the characteristic timber-frame architecture with an enclosed roof that is typical of this bridge type.
The structure was built in 1874 after residents requested its construction around 1872. Builder David Sutton used hemlock wood, which was common material for such regional building projects at that time.
The bridge shows craftsmanship methods that were common in the region, and stands for how communities in the 19th century created their own structures. Visitors can observe at this wooden construction how these practical solutions came about.
The structure is easy to reach and sits in a rural area with good road access. Visitors should be prepared for walking paths and explore the surroundings during daylight hours to see the bridge best.
The structure carries a stone marker labeled Cabin Run Bridge even though it is officially named Loux, pointing to different local names used over time. It is also the only white-painted covered bridge in Bucks County.
