Red Run Covered Bridge

Red Run Covered Bridge is a nineteenth-century covered road bridge in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, built in 1866 by Elias McMellen to carry traffic over Muddy Creek. Also known as Oberhaltzer's or Oberholzer's Covered Bridge, it is a single-span wooden bridge with double Burr arch trusses, a form widely used for long covered bridges in Pennsylvania. After a concrete replacement was built in 1961 and the creek was diverted, the bridge became landlocked and no longer crosses water. Now on private property beside Red Run Campground, it survives as a storage building and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
