It uses a Town truss and was built in 1842 at a cost of $5,553.50. The structure is 81 feet long and 15 feet wide, with a clearance of 11 feet 10 inches. It is regarded as one of the earliest surviving covered bridges in Bucks County, and its form is typical of the other covered bridges in the county. Its construction date places it among the oldest examples of wooden bridge technology in the region. The bridge was repaired in 1917 and was recorded in good condition. Its significance lies in its early date and its representation of the county's covered bridge tradition, which was documented in a regional survey of Bucks County covered bridges.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition given as good.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.337401-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003437.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003437/880c0d3a2c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003437/880c0d3a2c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"MikeParker (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pine_Valley_Covered_Bridge.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">MikeParker (talk)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pine_Valley_Covered_Bridge.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992466","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Valley_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7195406"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/bucks-county/pine-valley-covered-bridge-80003437/"}
