Forksville Covered Bridge
Forksville Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Forksville, Pennsylvania, United States.
The wooden bridge extends 152 feet across Loyalsock Creek, featuring a Burr arch truss design with load-bearing arches and multiple king posts.
Built in 1850 under the supervision of 18-year-old Sadler Rogers, the bridge survived major floods in 1865 and 1889 that destroyed other structures.
The bridge represents Pennsylvania's engineering heritage, joining the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as one of three remaining covered bridges in Sullivan County.
Located on Bridge Street near Route 154, the structure maintains its function as an official state highway bridge, serving approximately 224 vehicles daily.
From 1908 to 1913, the bridge housed a stream gauge station where water levels were measured twice daily using a 22-foot chain.
