Neils Red Covered Bridge

Science & Tech
Neils Red Covered Bridge was a wooden covered bridge in Greene Township, Pennsylvania, that carried a road over Whiteley Creek. Built in 1900 as an 86-foot Burr Truss span with a tin-covered gable roof, it represented the practical rural bridge type once common in the region. By 1978, only nine historic covered bridges still stood in Greene County, which heightened its local significance. Its preservation value was recognized with National Register of Historic Places listing in 1979. An arson fire destroyed the bridge on June 19, 1990, and it was later removed from the National Register in 2018, becoming one of Greene County's lost covered bridges.
