This bridge is located near the Susquehannock State Park and one of the longest bridges in Lancaster County.

After the flood of Hurricane Agnes in 1972, the bridge was lifted by two cranes and placed back onto its abutments, and repaired by Amish carpenters.

The siding is composed of the typical Lancaster County boards and battens.

This bridge is also known as Martic Forge Bridge.
