The Pine Bank Covered Bridge was built in 1870 using the Kingpost design; its builder is unknown. The bridge is 30 feet 6 inches long and 15 feet wide, and it crosses Avella Ravine in the Meadowcroft Village property.  The owner of the bridge is private. 

Although built-in 1870, this bridge is unique to the area because of its later arrival on Washington County's soil in 1962.  With vertical plank siding and a gable roof, this bridge was originally located in Greene County over Toms Run in Gilmore Township.  In 1962, Albert Miller moved the bridge into Meadowcroft Village, a 19th-century town recreated as a tourist attraction, with many buildings original to the period.  This is the only covered bridge that is not original to Washington County. Although similar in color to the other bridges, it differs in style in both its roof and portal design.  The interior walls remain unpainted, revealing several old advertisements.  Resting on stone abutments that have been laid dry, it has large, cut stone slabs at each end where typically the wing walls would be.

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