Built in 1856, the bridge spans 170 feet in its end post length and is 15 feet wide. It is one of the 19th-century wood-frame covered bridges that make up the Covered Bridges of Lancaster County group, a set of structures reviewed together for their shared construction methods. In 1972 the Agnes Flood washed the bridge off its abutments. Two cranes were used to lift it back into place, and Amish carpenters carried out the repairs. The bridge was rededicated on December 10, 1973, and is owned by Lancaster County.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition given as good; repaired after the 1972 flood and dedicated December 10, 1973.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.064832-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003534.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003534/b1e582cd2e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003534/b1e582cd2e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.5","author":"Photo by and (c)2006 Derek Ramsey (Ram-Man)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colemanville_Covered_Bridge_Full_Side_View_3008px.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by and (c)2006 Derek Ramsey (Ram-Man)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.5</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colemanville_Covered_Bridge_Full_Side_View_3008px.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993237","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colemanville_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5143046"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/colemanville-covered-bridge-80003534/"}
