Colemanville Covered Bridge

Spanning the Pequea Creek near Pequea, Pennsylvania, the Colemanville Covered Bridge has served travelers since 1856. This historic structure features the distinctive Burr arch truss design—a combination of arches and multiple kingpost trusses that provided exceptional strength for 19th-century bridges.

Current Status: Open to traffic, allowing visitors to drive through and experience this piece of living history.

Visiting Tips: The bridge photographs beautifully from the creek banks, especially during autumn foliage season. Early morning light minimizes harsh shadows through the portal openings. Park safely off the roadway and watch for oncoming vehicles when walking through. The surrounding Lancaster County countryside offers additional covered bridges for a scenic driving tour.
