Haupt’s Mill Covered Bridge

Springtown County, Pennsylvania

Haupt’s Mill Covered Bridge spans a waterway in Springtown, Pennsylvania, offering visitors a glimpse into 19th-century American bridge engineering. Built in 1872, this historic structure features a classic Town lattice truss design—a crisscrossing pattern of diagonal planks that was popular for its simplicity and strength.

The bridge remains open to traffic today, allowing drivers to experience crossing through its weathered wooden interior. The single-lane passage requires yielding to oncoming vehicles.

Visiting Tips: Early morning provides soft lighting for photography and fewer cars. Position yourself downstream for the best angle capturing the bridge’s full profile with reflections. Fall foliage creates a stunning backdrop. The bridge’s active status means brief waits may be necessary for vehicle-free shots.
