Schenck's Mill Covered Bridge

Schenck's Mill Covered Bridge in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, carries a road over Big Chiques Creek and survives as a notable nineteenth-century covered bridge. Built in 1847 by Charles Malhorn and Levi Fink and rebuilt in 1855, it uses a single-span wooden double Burr arch truss with steel hanger rods. The bridge measures 80 feet in span and 96 feet in total length, with a narrow oak-plank deck typical of its era. Painted red with white approaches, it is one of only three covered bridges in the county with horizontal side boards. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and damaged by a truck in 2017.
