| dbo:abstract | The Forksville Covered Bridge is a Burr arch truss covered bridge over Loyalsock Creek in the borough of Forksville, Sullivan County, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It was built in 1850 and is 152 feet 11 inches (46.61 m) in length. The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Forksville bridge is named for the borough it is in, which in turn is named for its location at the confluence or "forks" of the Little Loyalsock and Loyalsock Creeks. Pennsylvania had the first covered bridge in the United States and the most such bridges in both the 19th and 21st centuries. They were a transition between stone and metal bridges, with the roof and sides protecting the wooden structure from weather. The Forksville bridge is a Burr arch truss type, with a load-bearing arch sandwiching multiple vertical king posts, for strength and rigidity. The building of the Forksville bridge was supervised by the 18-year-old Sadler Rogers, who used his hand-carved model of the structure. It served as the site of a stream gauge from 1908 to 1913 and is still an official Pennsylvania state highway bridge. The United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration uses it as the model of a covered bridge "classic gable roof", and it serves as the logo of a Pennsylvania insurance company. The bridge was restored in 1970 and 2004 and is still in use, with average daily traffic of 240 vehicles in 2014. Despite the restorations, as of 2009 the bridge structure's sufficiency rating on the National Bridge Inventory was only 17.7 percent and its condition was deemed "basically intolerable requiring high priority of corrective action". It is one of three remaining covered bridges in Sullivan County, and according to Susan M. Zacher's The Covered Bridges of Pennsylvania: A Guide, its location "over the rocky Loyalsock Creek" is "one of the most attractive settings in the state."

Se construyó en 1850 y mide 46.61 m de largo. En 1980 se inscribió en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos (RNLH). Su nombre procede del borough donde se encuentra, así llamado por la confluencia (forks en inglés) de los ríos Loyalstock y Little Loyalstock. Pensilvania tuvo el primer puente cubierto de los Estados Unidos, y tanto en el siglo XIX como en el XXI ha tenido el mayor número de puentes de este tipo, que fueron una transición entre los puentes de piedra y los de metal. El techo y las paredes protegen de la intemperie la estructura de madera. El puente de Forksville es del tipo de arco y armadura, con un arco de carga inserto en una armadura de múltiples puntales que le dan fuerza y rigidez. El supervisor de la construcción fue , entonces de 18 años, que usó para ello un modelo de la estructura tallado a mano por él mismo. El puente sirvió como sección de aforo (para medir el caudal del río) de 1908 a 1913, y sigue siendo puente oficial de una carretera estatal de Pensilvania. La Administración Federal de Carreteras del Departamento de Transporte de los Estados Unidos lo considera el modelo de puente cubierto de techo clásico a dos aguas,y es el logotipo de una compañía de seguros de Pensilvania. El puente se restauró en 1970 y 2004, y sigue en uso, con un promedio de tráfico diario de 224 vehículos en 2009. Pese a las restauraciones, en 2009 la calificación de suficiencia de la estructura en el Inventario Nacional de Puentes (INP) fue de solo 17.7 por ciento, y su estado se consideró «esencialmente inadmisible, con una necesidad prioritaria de medidas correctivas». Es uno de los tres puentes cubiertos que quedan en el condado de Sullivan, y según el libro de Susan M. Zacher The Covered Bridges of Pennsylvania: A Guide, su localización «sobre el pedregoso río Loyalstock» es «uno de los escenarios naturales más atractivos del estado». (es) |
