摘要: |
Kings Bridge spans 116 feet over the Laurel Hill Creek. The original multiple kingpost truss structure was constructed circa 1857 by an unknown builder and retrofitted with nail-laminated arches circa 1900. Fortunately, the historic structure was bypassed with a steel bridge in the 1930s, and the original structural systems were never “modernized” like many timber bridges were to serve increased vehicular loads and highway traffic. The total rehabilitation of Kings Covered Bridge in Somerset County, Pennsylvania was completed in 2008, culminating an eleven-year effort by the non-profit Southern Allegheny Conservancy (SAC) and a private-public partnership utilizing 100 percent federal funding from two Federal Highway Administration programs – the National Covered Bridge Program and the Transportation Enhancements Program. |
