The Academia Pomeroy Covered Bridge at 278 feet (portal to portal) is the longest remaining covered bridge in Pennsylvania.
Built in 1902, this single-lane, double-span wooden covered bridge crosses Tuscarora Creek between Spruce Hill and Beale Townships, in Juniata County. Its design is based on the Burr Truss developed by Theodore Burr who was the preeminent bridge architect and builder of his time. Owned by the Juniata County Historical Society, located in Mifflintown, since 1962, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
