King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) this afternoon reopened the historic Rapps Dam Road covered bridge over French Creek in East Pikeland Township, Chester County, following repairs to the structure, which was struck by a vehicle on March 29, 2018. PennDOT crews will return in the coming weeks to perform additional work to further repair and restore the historic covered bridge.
Built in 1866, the Rapps Dam Road covered bridge was reconstructed in 1978 and 2011, and underwent major repairs in 2015 after it was severely damaged when struck by a tractor trailer.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the structure is 106 feet long and 14 feet wide. The bridge carries an average of 3,600 vehicles a day.
