    The 1902 Herline Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located in Harrison Township and Napier Township in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. This historic structure is a 136-foot-long (41 m) Burr truss bridge with a medium-pitched gable roof crossing over the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River and is one of fifteen historic covered bridges located in Bedford County.

     

    Herline Bridge is the longest of the covered bridges in Bedford County and is traversable. This single-span bridge is painted the traditional red color and has vertical boards that rise about two-thirds of the side to protect the bridge structure.

     

    The Herline Bridge was named after the Herline family, who were prominent landowners in the area, and was a replacement for the earlier Kinton Bridge, dating back to the 1870s. The bridge was damaged by flooding in 1983 and closed to traffic. Later in 1997, it was refurbished and reopened to traffic.

     

    The Herline Covered Bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1980.
