The 1892 Turner Covered Bridge, also known as Raystown Covered Bridge and Diehls Covered Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge located in Harrison Township in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. It is an 88-foot-long (26.9 m) Burr truss bridge with a shallow gable roof that crosses the Raystown Branch Juniata River and is one of 15 historic covered bridges in Bedford County.

The exact date that Turner’s Covered Bridge was built isn’t known for sure, but it is thought to have been constructed around 1892. This 13-foot-wide bridge rests on stone abutments, reinforced with concrete. Like most of Bedford County’s Covered Bridges, it is painted white. It has open sides, with vertical boards covering the bottom section of the bridge exterior, and is drivable.

The bridge is surrounded by a beautiful park and picnic area and was featured in the opening scenes of the anthology television series that was created by George A. Romero, “Tales from the Darkside.”

Turner Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
