    The 1943 Lippincott Covered Bridge, also known as the Cox Farm Covered Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge located in Morgan Township in Greene County, Pennsylvania. This bridge is a 27.75-foot-long (8.46 m), King post truss bridge with a shingle-covered gable roof. Crossing Ruff Creek, the bridge is the shortest covered bridge in Greene County, and as of October 1978, it was one of nine historic covered bridges in the county.

     

    Lippincott Bridge has horizontal siding, a sheet metal roof, one concrete abutment, and one stone and mortar reinforced with concrete abutment. Although by 1943 bridges in Pennsylvania were no longer constructed of wood, during World War II and a shortage of steel, Lippincott was an exception and the last covered bridge to be built in the state. The name of the builder of this Kingpost truss bridge is unknown.

     

    The bridge appears to have been completely rebuilt in 2013 through grant funding that replaced deteriorated wood and installed five steel beams to carry heavier traffic loads.

     

    Listed as Lippincott Covered Bridge when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, the bridge is listed as part of a historic collection called the “Covered Bridges of Washington and Greene Counties.”
