Notes
  • Significance: Local craftsmen Simon Dreibelbis and Charles Kutz built the Dreibelbis Station Bridge in 1869. It is a 172' long, single span bridge with a double Burr-arch truss. One of only five covered bridges remaining in Berks County, it is still open to traffic and well maintained by the county. It is significant for its sturdy truss and for its portal decoration. The Dreibelbis Station Bridge's original, decorative portals are excellent examples of the stepped, false-front aesthetic that was customary for bridges in this area.
