Green Sergeant Covered Bridge

in the last week

This is the last remaining covered bridge in Jersey, and it is only accessible heading west from Sergeantsville. (If you are heading east you go across the modern span that replaced this bridge when it was damaged in 1960) It is unique in another aspect as it has a very unusual truss design. Most covered bridges (in eastern PA) are Burr arch truss designs, this appears to be a Queen Post, but is not... it has the "queen" part but not the posts. Instead it has a what appears to be a Howe weave (or possibly a double Warren weave) In any case, it's most unusual. Go slow across it, the floor boards are very floppy.

One of a kind in NJ being the only one. Many covered bridges in PA though. Stands tough. It's a great place to stop by and take pictures. I went on my motorcycle ride and loved the roads leading to this bridge.

The surrounding land is beautiful, especially true if like me you live an hour east of here and do not get to see such normally. The bridge could use a good coat of paint on the exterior, but it is still unique and I can appreciate why the town keeps it.
