Scarborough Bridge, Covered bridge in Cherry Hill, New Jersey
Description
Scarborough Bridge is a covered wooden bridge in Cherry Hill that carries traffic and pedestrians across the Cooper River between residential neighborhoods. The structure features traditional timber construction methods typical of its era and serves as a functional crossing within a suburban residential area.
History
The bridge was designed by Malcolm Wells and opened in 1959 as part of a residential development project. It was built during a period of suburban growth and housing expansion in the region.
Culture
The bridge represents one of only two remaining covered bridges in New Jersey, reflecting mid-20th century suburban development patterns.
Practical
The bridge remains open to traffic with pedestrian sidewalks available for foot traffic on both sides. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active thoroughfare within a residential neighborhood.
Did you know?
Unlike typical 19th-century covered bridges, this structure was built in the post-World War II period to enhance the residential appeal of new developments.
