Lairdsville Covered Bridge
Also known as: Frazier Covered Bridge
Why it's listed
Built in 1888, the Lairdsville Covered Bridge crosses Little Muncy Creek on Township Route 664 in Moreland Township, Lycoming County. It is a Burr arch truss bridge, a form that combines arches with a multiple kingpost truss, and it rests on stone abutments. The bridge has a gable roof covered in tin and horizontal siding on about three-quarters of its sides, with an open panel under the eaves that admits light. It measures about 78 feet 10 inches from end post to end post, with a roadway width of 15 feet 1 inch, and carries a load limit of 3 tons. Located in a broad valley, it serves several farms along an unpaved township road. The bridge was nominated as one of a group of covered bridges in Lycoming, Bradford and Sullivan counties. Its listing rests on its surviving construction and its role in the rural road network of the county.
Significance in brief: The nomination lists the bridge as part of a group of Burr arch covered bridges in Lycoming, Bradford and Sullivan counties nominated as a thematic resource. The text describes it as serving several farms in a broad valley and notes its stone abutments and enclosed form.

What listing means for this property
For a publicly owned building or structure, listing mainly matters when federal funds, permits or licences are involved: projects then go through Section 106 review so effects on the property are considered. Listing also strengthens applications for preservation grants and, for leased income-producing uses, can enable the federal rehabilitation tax credit.
