Bogert Covered Bridge, Wooden covered bridge in Allentown, Pennsylvania

The Bogert Covered Bridge measures 145 feet in length and features vertical plank siding with a gable roof spanning the Little Lehigh River.

The bridge construction dates back to 1841, replacing a previous wooden plank structure that served local settlers crossing the Little Lehigh River.

The structure represents traditional Burr Truss engineering, demonstrating early American bridge construction methods with its distinctive arch design and wooden framework.

Located on Fish Hatchery Road, this historic bridge remains accessible for pedestrians and cyclists, offering a direct route through Lehigh County parkland.

The bridge earned recognition as the oldest covered bridge in Lehigh County and survived two truck incidents in the 1950s through community preservation efforts.
