Sonestown Covered Bridge

Sonestown Covered Bridge is a wooden road bridge crossing Muncy Creek with the distinctive Burr Truss design pattern. The covered structure protects the internal framework from weather and allows it to carry vehicles and pedestrians across the creek.

Built in the 1850s, this bridge became a crucial transportation link for growing rural communities in the region. It has safely carried generations of travelers and daily commuters across the creek since its construction.

The bridge serves as a daily crossing point for the community, connecting nearby roads and farmland. Its wooden structure has become a familiar landmark that residents pass through regularly.

Access is straightforward since the bridge is part of a public road network and can be reached on foot or by car from either side. Visitors should be aware that the structure remains in active use with regular traffic passing through.

The Burr Truss design combines diagonal beams with vertical supports in a way that distributes heavy loads across the structure. This engineered system has given the bridge remarkable durability over more than 170 years.
