Artist's Description
The white color of the Knox covered bridge over Valley Creek in Valley Forge National Park stands in a pleasing contrast to the autumn foliage in the background.
This bridge is located on State Route 1016, Valley Spring Road in Valley Forge Park, Tredyffrin Township. The original bridge was built on this site in 1851 and destroyed by the flood of 1865 which resulted in the building of the second bridge. This structure was built by Robert Russell utilizing the Burr Arch, the length of the bridge is 65 feet and the width is 13 feet, it crosses Valley Creek and is in good condition opened to vehicle traffic. This bridge is named after Philander C. Knox (1855-1921) United States Senator from Pennsylvania and General Henry Knox (1750-1806) an officer quartered at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778. This bridge is Federally owned.

Great capture, Michael. It is a very unusual bridge. Thanks for sharing the background history. Do you know why the roof is so high? is there big truck traffic over the bridge?
Michael Porchik replied:
Hi Charles, it is a pretty unique looking bridge. The opening for traffic is only 10 feet, it does look much taller in the picture though. Here is an image I took in the summer at a different angle. http://fineartamerica.com/featured/knox-bridge-michael-porchik.html
