St. Mary's covered bridge is the last remaining covered bridge in the county of Huntingdon. It's off Rt. 522, right across the street from the church of the same name. It was built in 1896, and renovated in 1982. It's 65 ft. long & 17.5 ft. wide. It's a Howe truss bridge painted brick red and white, and is registered on the National Register of Historic Places. We loved the open sides and the beautiful views from both sides. It's operational and we got a thrill driving over the bridge! We love spotting covered bridges and Pennsylvania has 209! The bridge is also nicknamed Shade Gap bridge or Shade Creek bridge after the creek which it covers, but officially goes by the name on the sign! read more
