Kreigbaum Covered Bridge
Elysburg County, Pennsylvania
Nestled in the scenic countryside between Elysburg and Numidia, Pennsylvania, the Kreigbaum Covered Bridge has spanned its creek since 1876. This historic structure features a classic queenpost truss design, a straightforward yet sturdy construction method favored by 19th-century bridge builders for shorter spans.
The bridge remains open to traffic, offering visitors the authentic experience of driving through a working piece of American history. Its weathered wooden siding and shaded interior make for striking photographs, particularly during autumn when surrounding foliage provides vibrant contrast.
Visiting Tips: Arrive early morning for soft lighting and minimal traffic. The bridge photographs beautifully from creek level. Respect posted weight limits and watch for oncoming vehicles when crossing.
