    The 1886 Linton Stephens Covered Bridge, also known as Linton Stevens Covered Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge located in Elk Township and New London Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Linton Stevens Bridge was named for a postmaster at Hickory Hill.

     

    Linton Stephens Bridge is a 102-foot-long Burr truss bridge, constructed in 1886 by J. Denithorne and Son.  It crosses Big Elk Creek, and while a car may cross it, the road beyond is open to vehicles with permits only.

     

    Of the 1,500 covered bridges that once stood in the state of Pennsylvania, as of 2019, approximately 200 remain.

     

    Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 1980.
