Hewitt Covered Bridge

Hewitt Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in Southampton Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, carrying a road over Town Creek. One of fifteen historic covered bridges in the county, it is eighty-eight feet long and built as a low to medium Burr Truss, a form widely used for sturdy wooden covered bridges. With its medium gable roof and enclosed profile, it represents the surviving rural spans associated with Pennsylvania. Its importance rests in that survival as a preserved example of traditional bridge building over a small waterway, recognized by its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
