Lower Humbert Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Lower Turkeyfoot Township, US.

The Lower Humbert Covered Bridge spans 126 feet across Laurel Hill Creek with a Burr Arch truss design and wooden construction throughout its structure.

Built in 1891, this bridge underwent major reinforcement work in 1991, including the addition of steel beams and a concrete pier encased in stone.

The bridge forms part of Somerset County's collection of ten remaining covered bridges, representing Pennsylvania's transportation engineering developments from the 19th century.

The structure maintains a 3-ton weight limit and measures 12.3 feet in width with an 8-foot height clearance for vehicles crossing Laurel Hill Creek.

Local stories tell of a young girl's ghost that appeared along Humbert Road until road construction disturbed her grave marker near the bridge.
