    The 1870 Trusal Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located in Washington Township in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. It is a 35-foot-long (11 m) Town truss bridge that crosses the south branch of Plum Creek and is one of only four remaining covered bridges in Indiana County.

     

    Trusal Covered Bridge has slanted entrances, giving it a trapezoid appearance from the side. The covered bridge was bypassed by a modern bridge in 1990 but remains open to foot traffic.

     

    Trusal Bridge is the oldest of Indiana County's covered bridges, also known as Dice's Bridge, after Thomas Dice, who lived nearby. At 41 feet long, the Trusal Bridge is the shortest of Indiana County's covered bridges. It was named after Robert Trusal, a nearby property owner and Civil War Veteran, and is considered a companion bridge to Harmon Bridge, also located on the south branch of Plum Creek just off Five Points Road. Both bridges are within eyesight of each other. Trusal Covered Bridge is surrounded by farmland.

     

    Trusal Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
