Located in and owned by Allen Township, this 116' foot long wooden bridge was built in 1839, and is Northampton County's sole remaining covered bridge. It is also Northampton County's oldest bridge.
Northampton County uses some of its hotel tax money for maintenance by a dedicated group of volunteers, who made a brief presentation at last night's County Council meeting.
There are 211 covered bridges remaining in Pennsylvania, making it the covered bridge capiatla of the world. Six are in Lehigh County. Its oldest, Bogert Bridge, was built in 1841.

This is a real Northampton county Treasure and a part of our History. Northampton county should make sure it gets all the necessary funding that they need. It is a Northampton County Bridge and Northampton county does maintain bridges through their revenues from the state gasoline tax.
I believe this bridge is actually owned by Allen Tp and not Northampton County. But your point is well-taken, and the County does help fund the project with hotel tax revenue.
A Penna. legacy of the Pennsylvania Germans who made good things. Now everything is run by the micks and guins

The Micks built this country, Adolf.

They have a 5K/10K race there every year. The 10K course is brutal.
