The 1832 South Perkasie Covered Bridge, earlier known as the Bridgetown Covered Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge located at Perkasie, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. South Perkasie Bridge was built in 1832 and is a 93-foot-long Town truss covered bridge constructed of oak and white pine. The bridge once crossed Pleasant Spring Creek but was moved and rededicated on August 15, 1959, by Congressman Willard S. Curtin as a feature in Lenape Park. It is the oldest covered bridge in Bucks County.

The Bridgeton Covered Bridge was built for use as a means of transportation across Pleasant Spring Creek.  Perkasie Historical Society saved the bridge from demolition. In August of 1959, the bridge was moved to Lenape Park, 0.8 miles away, and placed on dry land. The relocation received national media coverage. The entire bridge is painted red and over the portal is the famous sign –"$5 Fine for Any Person Riding or Driving Over This Bridge Faster Than a Walk or Smoking Segars On."

Total length: 98 ft.
Deck width: 15 ft.

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