    The 1874 Loux Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located on Wismer Road crossing the Cabin Run Creek upstream from the Cabin Run Covered Bridge in Bedminster Township and Plumstead Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  Often incorrectly called Cabin Run Bridge. Another covered bridge nearby actually carries that name.

     

    Loux Bridge was built in 1874 by David Sutton out of hemlock in the Town Truss style. This is one of the shorter covered bridges in Bucks County, at only 60 feet long and 11 feet wide.  Named after John A. Loux, who was the longest-tenured justice of the peace in Bucks County. The state of Pennsylvania owns the bridge.

     

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

     

    Loux Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1980.
