Osterburg Covered Bridge

Osterburg Covered Bridge, also known as Bowser's Covered Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge in East Saint Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Carrying a road over Bobs Creek, it is one of fifteen historic covered bridges in the county. The bridge is a ninety-foot Burr Truss span with a shallow gable roof, a form long associated with Pennsylvania covered-bridge construction. Its enclosed wooden design reflects the practical purpose of shielding the structural framing from weather. In 1980, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the region’s surviving historic bridge heritage.
