Notes
  • Significance: The Pine Grove Bridge was built in 1884 after a destructive flood carried away an 1846 at this site. The county hired Capt. Elias McMellen, a well-respected and prolific Lancaster bridge builder to rebuild it . McMellen constructed over thirty-five bridges in the region. The bridge is a typical example of the vernacular Burr arch-truss, the most common design for covered bridges in this area. The bridge is still open to vehicular traffic.
