Cox-Lippencott Covered Bridge
The Cox / Lippincott Farm Bridge boasts a slightly unusual design. It is covered with white horizontal clapboard siding on both the exterior sides and the portals. The roof is covered with steel metal, and the deck is covered with crosswise planking. The structure of the bridge rests on two abutments, on of stone and mortar reinforced with concrete and one of all concrete. The abutments are extended to form short concrete wingwalls approximately one-and-one-half feet above the road level. The kingpost truss
structure is heavily reinforced with five steel beams, but still only carries a four-ton weight limit. Like most of Greene County's other covered bridges, the Lippincott / Cox Farm Bridge is located on a heavily traveled Township Road in an open rural area. This bridge was constructed in 1943 because of a shortage of steel during the war years.
