    The 1881 Henry Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The builder of the 36 foot long and 12 feet 4 inch wide Queenpost bridge, using two central supporting posts, is unknown. With vertical siding, this red 2-ton weight limit bridge has a tin covered gable roof and 4 square windows. Sitting on cut stone abutments, this small bridge spans Mingo Creek in Mingo Creek County Park, and has stone and mortar wingwalls capped with concrete. Henry Bridge is one of two covered bridges that sit within the grounds of the County Park, and sits about one mile downstream from the Ebenezer Church Bridge.

     

    The original wood was most likely white oak, which was plentiful in Washington County, but the original shingles are long gone. Stripping between the boards seals it against the elements. Five steel support beams were added to the deck to strengthen it.

     

    Henry Covered Bridge is designated as a historic bridge by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation.
