Grimes Covered Bridge

Pennsylvania · Waynesburg County

Waynesburg, Pennsylvania

Built in 1888, Grimes Covered Bridge stands as a testament to 19th-century craftsmanship in Greene County. This historic structure features a kingpost truss design—one of the simplest yet most effective wooden bridge configurations, using a central vertical post to support the span.

The bridge remains open to traffic, allowing visitors to experience crossing as travelers did over a century ago. Its weathered wooden siding and sheltered interior create quintessential covered bridge photography opportunities.

Visiting Tips: Early morning offers soft light and minimal traffic for photos. Approach slowly—the single lane requires yielding to oncoming vehicles. Fall foliage provides a stunning backdrop. Park safely off-road when exploring on foot.
