Pennsylvania Covered Bridges - Lehigh County
Wehr's Bridge
Wehr's Bridge is the fourth of five covered bridges that cross Jordan Creek in Lehigh County.  The 140 foot long Burr Truss Bridge was built in 1841.  Originally known as Sieger's Bridge, the term "Wehr's Bridge" became more common after the opening of Wehr's Mill, which was built nearby in 1862.   The bridge, along with the nearby Guth Bridge, forms South Whitehall Township's Covered Bridge Park that is anchored by both bridges and runs along side Jordan Creek.
