Covered bridge · Lehigh County, Pennsylvania
Geiger Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has 231 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 6 of them in Lehigh County.
It was built in 1860, in the Civil War era, making it the 25th oldest of the 134 in Pennsylvania with a recorded construction date; it crosses Jordan Creek.
Status check, 2026-11: This Burr truss bridge over Jordan Creek has an unusual stepped-plank portal and was closed for major repairs in 2022. The NRHP gives 1860, but a North Whitehall Township history says 1858; reported lengths of 111, 112, 120 and 132 ft disagree, so length is left null. Geiger Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 40.6465° N, 75.6235° W.
