Summary
Significance: The Uhlerstown Bridge was the only covered bridge to span the 60-mile Delaware Division Canal. Although the wood floor system has been replaced with steel, the structure otherwise retains its historic integrity and has been well-maintained by the county engineers and local citizens. It is an excellent example of the local bridge building traditions, which relied heavily on the Town lattice truss.
