Jericho Covered Bridge

The wooden covered bridge spans 88 feet across Little Gunpowder Falls, featuring a Burr arch through truss design with red painted exterior walls.

The bridge, constructed in 1865 by Thomas F Forsyth at a cost of $3,125, connected industrial facilities including cotton mills and iron works.

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

The bridge underwent extensive renovation in 2015, receiving new timber components, cedar shingle roof, security cameras, and protective coatings against fire and vandalism.

The structure required complete lifting and relocation during its restoration, allowing workers to replace substantial portions of heavy timber and reconstruct the foundations.
