Keefer Covered Bridge No. 7
Washingtonville County, Pennsylvania
Washingtonville, Pennsylvania
One of Pennsylvania’s historic treasures, Keefer Covered Bridge No. 7 has spanned its crossing since 1853, making it over 170 years old. The bridge features the distinctive Burr arch truss design—a combination of a wooden arch and multiple kingpost trusses that provided exceptional strength for 19th-century commerce.
Current Status: Open to traffic. Drive across carefully or park nearby to explore on foot.
Visiting Tips: Visit during autumn for stunning foliage framing the weathered red siding. Morning light offers the best photography conditions, illuminating the bridge’s interior through its portal openings. Check local conditions after heavy rain, as rural covered bridges may have weight restrictions or temporary closures.
