Glen Hope Covered Bridge

Glen Hope Covered Bridge is a historic wooden bridge in Elk Township, Pennsylvania, carrying a road over Little Elk Creek. Built in 1889, it is a sixty-five-foot Burr truss span with vertical planking and window openings at the eaves. It survives as part of the region’s nineteenth-century covered bridges, constructed when timber trusses were a practical solution for crossing local waterways. Its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 reflects both its age and the preservation of its traditional design.
