Located in Saville, Pennsylvania, this historic covered bridge was built in 1903 using the Burr arch truss design—a construction method combining wooden arches with traditional kingpost trusses for exceptional strength. The Burr truss was particularly popular in Pennsylvania, where hundreds of covered bridges once dotted the landscape.

Still open to traffic today, the Saville Covered Bridge serves as both a functional crossing and a window into early 20th-century engineering. The weathered wooden exterior and shaded interior offer excellent photography opportunities, especially during autumn foliage season.

Visiting Tips: Arrive early morning for soft lighting and minimal traffic. The bridge’s working status means vehicles may pass through—stay alert and use pulloffs for extended photo sessions.
