Discover the Buckingham Township Bridge
This historic bridge was built way back in 1905. That means it's over 100 years old! It's made from strong, roughly cut stones. These stones fit together to create a sturdy structure.
What Makes This Bridge Special?
The bridge is an "arch bridge." This means it uses curved arches to support its weight. It has six main sections, called spans. Four of these spans are 20 feet long. The other two are 12 feet long. This design helps the bridge stand strong over the water.
