Harrington Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans Conneaut Creek in Conneaut Township, Erie County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It was constructed about 1870, and rebuilt in 1962. The Harrington Covered Bridge is one of two remaining covered bridges in Erie County, along with the Waterford Covered Bridge.
The Harrington Covered Bridge is 72 feet (22 m) long and carries Barney Road (State Route 3003) over Conneaut Creek. It was designed as single-span, multiple King post-truss bridge in 1870 by William Sherman, who also built the Gudgeonville and Carman covered bridges that were located nearby.[2] Like the other two covered bridges, it is clad in a unpainted, vertical wooden plank siding.
The Harrington Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980 along with the other covered bridges in Erie County.[1]
