The South Perkasie Covered Bridge is an historic wooden covered bridge in Perkasie, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The oldest covered bridge in Bucks County,[2] it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1980.[1]
Built in 1832, this historic structure is a 93-foot-long (28 m), Town truss covered bridge that once crossed Pleasant Spring Creek, but was moved and rededicated on August 15, 1959 by Congressman Willard S. Curtin as a feature in Lenape Park. It is the oldest covered bridge in Bucks County.[2][3]
The bridge was heavily damaged by the remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021.
