Hunsecker Mill Covered Bridge

Reviewed By MargieD300 - York, United States

Red is the traditional color of covered bridges, but not Hunsecker's Mill Covered Bridge. Built in 1848, this bridge was lifted up off its abutments from rising waters in 1972 and carried downstream! It was rebuilt the next year, with a length of 180 feet. Unique to this bridge are horizontal floor boards - gives a different vibration when crossing! Beautiful setting!

Leaman's Place Covered Bridge

Reviewed By MargieD300 - York, United States

This covered bridge is also known as Eshleman's Mill Covered Bridge or Paradise Bridge. Built in 1845 and rebuilt in 1893, the bridge spans the Pequea Creek in Lancaster County. We spent a day driving through the countryside and enjoyed locating these historical bridges!

Roebling Aqueduct Suspension Bridge

Reviewed By Unresolved_Issue - Edison, United States

Contrary to one of the earlier reviews, this was NOT built as a test to build the Brooklyn Bridge. This was built as an aqueduct to connect the Pennsylvania and New York sides of the Delaware & Hudson Canal ABOVE the Delaware River. Where the boats used to cross the river in water is now a one lane bridge for cars. You can walk across the river on the portion of the aqueduct used by the mules to pull the boats thru the aqueduct. There is plenty of information describing the aqueduct and great views of the Delaware River from the top of the aqueduct. This is worth a visit.

Roberto Clemente Bridge (Sixth Street Bridge)

Reviewed By BrianCB62 - Pittsburgh, United States

The Roberto Clemente bridge, which is also known as the Sixth Street Bridge, is on the North side of Pittsburgh and crosses the Allegheny River. Construction started in 1925 and was completed in 1928. The bridge closes on game days when the Pirates are home and this is a very cool local thing to be able to walk over the bridge to get to your car or go to dinner. The bridge has a section where people hang locks bestowing their love for one another and it’s cool to see. Clearly the best tome to see the bridge is at night viewing the cityscape beyond it.
