Notes
  • Significance: Although the history of this bridge has not been thoroughly documented, physical evidence suggests that King's Bridge was originally built in the mid-nineteenth century and largely rebuilt in 1906. Bypassed in the 1930s, King's Bridge was privately owned and maintained by the King family of Middlecreek Township, who used it as a livestock barn until 2002. The bridge is currently undergoing rehabilitation and will be preserved as an historic landmark and tourist attraction. King's Bridge is a good example of a multiple kingpost truss and has been retrofitted with unusual auxiliary tied arches. It is one of ten surviving covered bridges in Somerset County, whose dates range from 1845 to 1902.
