The document dates it to 1870.","why_significant":"The nomination treats the bridge as one of three remaining covered bridges in Cumberland County and says it retains the most integrity of the three. It has vertical plank siding on the sidewalls, horizontal siding in the portals, a gable roof, and cut stone abutments. The other two surviving examples are described as in very poor condition or moved and completely reconstructed.","narrative":"Near Newburg in Hopewell Township, the Ramp Covered Bridge crosses Conodoguinet Creek and was built in 1870. It is a Burr truss structure about 150 feet long and 14.8 feet wide, with vertical plank siding on its sidewalls, horizontal siding in its portals, a gable roof, and cut stone abutments. The bridge is owned by Cumberland County and carries a three-ton load limit. Of the three covered bridges remaining in Cumberland County, it is regarded as the one that has best kept its original fabric. The Thompson Bridge is in very poor condition, and the Bowmansdale Bridge has been moved and largely rebuilt. Its significance rests on this comparatively intact survival of a nineteenth-century covered bridge type in the county, and its listing is part of a thematic group of covered bridges in Adams, Cumberland and Perry counties.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Burr truss","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition recorded 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 17:11:32.220419-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003480.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003480/17e46b7919-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003480/17e46b7919-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RAMP_COVERED_BRIDGE.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RAMP_COVERED_BRIDGE.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992862","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramp_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289985"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/cumberland-county/ramp-covered-bridge-80003480/"}
