Create a Signature Feature for your Project with a York Covered Bridge Original
At York Bridge Concepts, we approach every project from scratch. Our goal is to provide our clients with a covered bridge unlike any other in the country. We take into consideration the look, feel and architecture of the development and also the historical elements of past covered bridges.
We utilize modern construction methods, expert craftsmanship and unsurpassed attention to detail in our Timber Covered Bridges. The entire bridge is handcrafted, timber by timber, by our crews on-site, including the superstructure, heavy timber rafters, roofing, columns and rails. Our highly experienced and dedicated field team brings all these components together to create a landmark bridge.
Your York Covered Bridge will be the signature feature that will make your development or project stand apart from any other developments in the country.
When driving through a York Timber Covered Bridge you will find yourself completely surrounded by our beautiful, handcrafted timber design. |

This New England style York bridge was designed for a housing development in Wayland, MA and has been included in the Massachusetts Covered Bridge Society.
During the design process we did extensive research on covered bridges in the New England area. By incorporating some of those design elements into our design, we were able to create a full covered bridge that perfectly fit into this development. |

This Western Style York Covered Bridge style offers a more open design which allows traveler’s to gaze out at the beautiful landscapes.
For this bridge it was important to specifically incorporate the architectural elements, designs and materials that are unique to the South Western area. We were even able to incorporate the development’s logo on the front along with a custom tin roof. |

Covered Bridges; Create an Historic Landmark
A very attractive feature of a York Covered Bridge is its longevity. A York Covered Bridge, when properly maintained, lasts 50-75 years and possibly much longer. Covered timber bridges in general tend to have a longer life expectancy due to the fact that they are constantly being protected from harsh elements such as rain, hail, sleet, snow, severe heat and UV rays. Thousands of covered bridges have been built across America in the past 200 years — many of which are still in use today. While construction processes, treatment and materials have improved drastically over time, the spirit a covered bridge commands remains.
