We visited Somerset County on our annual visit to see the Steelers training camp and on the way, I spotted a sign which indicated that there was a covered bridge nearby. We made a quick detour and found this bridge.
Glessner Bridge was built in 1881 by Tobias Glessner, he utilized the
Burr Truss in its construction. The bridge crosses Stony Creek in Stony
Creek Township north of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Glessner is 90 feet
long and 12 feet wide, it is in good condition and open to vehicular
traffic. This structure is owned and maintained by Somerset County.
