The 1919 White Covered Bridge in Greene County, Pennsylvania. White Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located at Greene Township in Greene County and is a 70-foot-long, Queenpost truss bridge with a gable roof, constructed in 1919 that crosses Whiteley Creek. As of October 1978, it was one of nine historic covered bridges in Greene County.

The White Bridge is the longest of the Queenpost structures located within Greene County. There is, however, a discrepancy concerning the date of this bridge's construction. With the exception of the 1990 state survey, which determined that the bridge was built in 1900, all other sources suggest that the White Bridge was constructed around 1919. Charles Morris, born in 1911, grew up near this area. He remembers the White Bridge being built when he was a young boy and that prior to the building of the bridge, there was a footlog across the creek just west of where the bridge now stands. If one wanted to cross the creek with a wagon or buggy, you had to ford the creek even though at times the water was too deep to permit crossing at all. In addition to being the longest covered bridge in Greene County; White Bridge is also an exceptionally high Queenpost structure. It has a clearance of 17 feet, 6 inches. With no evidence of steel reinforcement, the bridge boasts an exceptionally high load limit of ten tons. It is covered with white vertical tongue-and-groove board siding on both the sides and the portals, a steel metal roof, and a decking of lengthwise vertical planking in the tire track area laid over diagonal crosswise planking. The structure rests on cut stone-and-mortar wing walls. There are typical narrow lengthwise openings under the eaves.

White Bridge is owned and maintained by the county.

Total length: 70 ft.
Vertical clearance above deck: 17 ft.
