Lime Valley Covered Bridge
Lime Valley Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Strasburg Township, United States.
Description
Lime Valley Covered Bridge is a red wooden structure that crosses Pequea Creek in Pennsylvania, connecting two adjoining townships. The bridge features a wooden roof and walls that protect the internal framework and deck below.
History
The bridge was built in the 1870s using advanced wooden joinery techniques to remain stable over time. It was later recognized as a historic site and added to official preservation lists.
Culture
The bridge shows how communities crossed the creek and moved goods in the 1800s. It remains part of the landscape that residents and visitors recognize as part of Lancaster County's character.
Practical
The bridge sits in a rural area and is easy to reach from the main road nearby. It is best to visit early in the day when there is less traffic on the narrow deck.
Did you know?
A second, nearly identical wooden structure stands just west of this one and the two form a rare pair of historic crossings side by side. This arrangement is not common to find in the United States.
