Dingleton Hill Covered Bridge

Dingleton Hill Covered Bridge is a wooden road bridge that crosses Mill Brook with a single span and traditional timber frame structure. The building displays characteristic wooden siding on its exterior and a metal roof covering the interior.

A local carpenter named James Tasker built this bridge in 1882 using the methods of his era. The structure has endured and reflects the solid craftsmanship that made 19th-century covered bridges last so long.

The bridge shows how local craftspeople built wooden structures that still work today. Visitors can see the practical engineering choices made by 19th-century builders.

The bridge still carries road traffic on Root Hill Road today. Visitors can walk across to view the interior construction up close and see how the wooden frame supports the span.

The bridge combines its original stone support with a concrete one added in 1954. This mix of old and new shows how historic structures were reinforced to keep working for longer.
