Jericho Covered Bridge

Jericho Covered Bridge is a wooden structure spanning across Little Gunpowder Falls with red painted walls and a Burr arch through truss design. The crossing connects areas separated by the stream and demonstrates timber engineering techniques common to 19th-century bridge construction.

The bridge came into being in 1865 to serve communities and industrial operations in the area. Over time it became the last remaining covered bridge of its kind in two counties combined.

Local communities from both Harford and Baltimore counties maintain this structure as the final remaining covered bridge in their combined territories.

The structure remains accessible to visitors as a public crossing that continues to serve its original purpose. Walking through and viewing it from different angles helps you appreciate the timber framework and construction details.

During a comprehensive restoration, the entire bridge was lifted and relocated to replace damaged timber and reconstruct its foundations. This extraordinary undertaking saved a structure that might otherwise have been lost.
