Rudolph & Arthur Bridge (New London & Elk Townships).

Originally built in 1880 over Big Elk Creek by Menander Wood (woodwork) and Richard T. Meredith (stone work) for $2,334 using the Burr Truss. The 90' span (15' wide) was repaired twice (in 1884 and 1915) after suffering serious flood damage. The bridge is in good condition, owned by Chester County and open to vehicular traffic.

Between 1850 and 1909 a large dam above the bridge supplied power to a paper mill on the east side of Elk Creek. The Rudolph family, who operated the mil,l and Charles Arthur, used their considerable influence to have the County build the covered bridge here.
