Dreibelbis Station Bridge

Dreibelbis Station Bridge

Lenhartsville County, Pennsylvania

Built in 1869, the Dreibelbis Station Bridge stands as one of Pennsylvania’s enduring covered bridge treasures near Lenhartsville. This historic structure features the classic Burr arch truss design—a combination of a wooden arch and multiple kingpost trusses that provided exceptional strength for 19th-century engineering.

The bridge remains open to traffic today, carrying vehicles across Maiden Creek as it has for over 150 years. Its weathered red siding and portal design make it a quintessential example of Pennsylvania Dutch Country craftsmanship.

Visiting Tips: Early morning offers the best photography light with minimal traffic. The surrounding Berks County countryside provides a scenic backdrop, especially during fall foliage season. Approach slowly—the single lane requires yielding to oncoming vehicles.
