Shaffer's Bridge
Science & Tech
Shaffer's Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Conemaugh Township, Pennsylvania, carrying a road over Ben's Creek. Built in 1877, it is one of ten covered bridges in Somerset County and a surviving example of the area’s nineteenth-century covered bridges. The structure is a Burr truss span measuring 68 feet 2 inches long and is protected by a shingle-covered gable roof. Its preservation reflects the rarity and historical importance of this kind of bridge in the region, a significance formally recognized when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
