It is 100 feet long and 16 feet 8 inches wide, with a load limit of one ton. Its narrow horizontal siding extends up to the eaves, and it has no windows, so the interior is very dark. The bridge has been restored and reinforced with steel. It is the only surviving covered bridge in Northampton County and is regarded as an example of wooden bridge construction from the period. It is one of a group of covered bridges in the Delaware River watershed that were documented together. The structure is currently closed to traffic to protect it.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Burr truss","criteria":[],"status_note":"Restored and strengthened with steel reinforcements; presently closed to traffic for its preservation; 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 17:11:34.11069-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003587.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003587/571854ef46-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003587/571854ef46-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 2.0","author":"Eric","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Allentown_PA_-_covered_bridge.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Eric</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Allentown_PA_-_covered_bridge.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993412","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreidersville_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6436596"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/northampton-county/kreiderville-covered-bridge-80003587/"}
