Felton Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Felton, United States.

Felton Covered Bridge is a wooden bridge crossing the San Lorenzo River with brown truss construction and protective walls featuring windows. The structure spans the water with traditional timber bridge elements.

Built in 1892, the Felton Covered Bridge carried the main road into Felton for 45 years, until 1937. It uses a Brown truss and is about 80 feet long. It became a California Historical Landmark in 1957 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Storm damage in the winter of 1982 led to a major restoration in 1987.

The bridge gave Felton its main river crossing for 45 years, carrying road traffic until it was retired from the roadway. It now stands inside Felton Covered Bridge Park, where pedestrians walk through the timber truss. The name comes from the town of Felton on the San Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz County.

The bridge is no longer open to vehicle traffic; pedestrians reach it on foot from Felton Covered Bridge Park. The span crosses the San Lorenzo River, so expect a short walk from the park side to the opposite bank.

The structure stands out as the tallest covered bridge in the United States while keeping its original construction elements intact through multiple restorations. This quality makes it a notable example of preserved historical engineering.
