Woods Bridge - Greene County Pennsylvania - Covered Bridges on Waymarking.com

This bridge was named for Edward (Ned or Neddie) W. Wood, a Civil War veteran who owned the land on which the bridge was built in 1882. Standing in the open farmland countryside of Greene County, the Neddie Woods Bridge is covered on both sides and portals with unpainted vertical board siding. The roof is made of corrugated sheet metal, and the decking is covered with crosswise planking. The only side openings are fairly wide lengthwise ones immediately under the eaves. The structure is reinforced with five steel I-beams that rest on cut-stone abutments that appear to have been laid dry. It also is open to vehicular traffic with a posted load limit of four tons.

Recently renovated, on June 16, 2005, the Greene County Board of Commissioners held a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. During renovations, they tried to preserve as much of the original structure as possible.
