The Bridge in Jenner Township is an old stone bridge located in Jenner Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. It was built a long time ago, in 1908. This bridge is special because it's made of stone and has a curved arch shape. It helps people cross over a small stream called Roaring Run.
About the Bridge
This bridge is about 31 and a half feet (9.6 meters) long. It's built using strong, rough-cut stones called ashlar. The way it's designed, with a single stone arch, makes it very sturdy.
