Baumgardener's Covered Bridge
Baumgardener's Covered Bridge, Historic covered bridge in Martic Township, Pennsylvania, US.
The wooden structure spans 120 feet across Pequea Creek, featuring a double Burr arch truss design with steel hanger rods and oak plank decking.
Davis Kitch constructed this bridge in 1860 for a total cost of $1,284, creating a passage that connected local communities across the Pequea Creek.
The bridge maintains Lancaster County traditions with its red-painted exterior and white-painted approaches, reflecting regional architectural preferences for covered bridges.
Located north of Frogtown Road on Covered Bridge Road, the structure measures 14 feet wide and 11.5 feet high, accommodating single-lane traffic.
After flood damage in 1987, engineers raised the bridge by 4 feet and extended it by 9 feet during a $200,000 restoration project.
