The Dr. Knisley Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located at West St. Clair Township in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, USA. It is a 80-foot-long (24 m), medium Burr Truss bridge with a shallow gable roof. It crosses Dunning Creek. It is one of 15 historic covered bridges in Bedford County.[2][3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Dr. Knisley bridge was built in 1867 and the builder is unknown and is privately owned. The structure construction utilizes the Burr truss its length is 80ft and width 12 ft. The bridge is only open to foot traffic and it crosses Dunnings Creek. The location of the bridge is just north of State Route 4013, a short distance southwest of State Route 56, approximately 1.4 miles southeast of Pleasantville in West St. Clair Twp.
This bridge is in beautiful condition and the setting surrounding the bridge really does it justice. The bridge is well maintained and one of the nicest in Bedford county. It is a bridge that is nice to photograph no matter the season. Although the bridge is blocked off from any traffic and privately owned there are no "No Trespassing" signs visible on or around the bridge. This is another one of my favorite sites to see in Bedford county.. Wikipedia
