Conestoga River

Originally built in 1848 for $1988 by Joseph Russell with a double Burr Arch truss system.  Rebuilt for $321,302 in 1973 after the rising waters from Hurricane Agnus lifted it off its abutments and carried it downstream.  Its length of 180 ft. makes it the longest single-span covered bridge in the county.  Location:  1/4 mile north of Hwy. 23 and Mondale Road and 1/4 mile west on Hunsecker Road in Upper Leacock Township.
