Sauck's / Sachs Bridge - Covered Bridges on Waymarking.com

This bridge was used for the movement of troops by both the Confederate and Union forces during the military campaign at Gettysburg.

At that time it was known as Sauck's Bridge and accomodated a considerable amount of road traffic.

In the spring of 1993 a restoring project was undertaken by Gettysburg National Military Park and nine other organizations.

A bronze plaque located near the restored bridge states: "In 1938, the Pennsylvania Highway Department determined that the Sachs Bridge was the most historic covered bridge in the state.

It was closed to traffic in 1968 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
