G. Donald McLaughlin Memorial Bridge / Jack's Mountain Bridge / - Covered Bridges on Waymarking.com

This is the only remaining covered bridge in Adams County that is open to vehicular traffic.

While it was always referred to as the Jack's Mountain Bridge, its name was officially changed to the G. Donald McLaughlin Memorial Covered Bridge in 1998 in memory of the gentleman who spearheaded the bridges restoration campaign.

It is the only bridge in Pennsylvania that uses traffic lights to control the flow of traffic across the one lane structure.
