Covered Bridge
Bridge inspection and design
services for the covered bridge at Glimmerglass State Park.
The bridge was built C.1820’s and
was designated as part of a National Historic Landmark. Subsequently,
the proposed work had to comply with Section 1409 of the
State Historic Preservation Act.
The bridge is of timber bowstring truss construction that spans 54
feet. It carries foot traffic and some light vehicular traffic along
an existing park trail.
Inspection of the bridge revealed that the structure
was in remarkable condition considering its original date
of construction. However, there were some isolated instances
of severe deterioration
requiring repairs.
