Adams County bridges tour preserves three historic spans
The Adams County Historical Society toured three of the county’s remaining covered wooden bridges Tuesday night, part of a summer series visiting eight of the original 70. Two bridges are being preserved, Peepstown and the Sachs Bridge on Water Works Rd, with plans for concrete and steel reinforcements to extend life for another century. The Kuhn’s Fording bridge, at 222 feet the county’s longest covered wooden span, drew praise as a standout, while costs for earlier stone and wooden bridges were contrasted with later prestressed concrete alternatives.
