The Banks Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in Wilmington Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States.[1]Шаблон:Rp It spans the Neshannock Creek southeast of New Wilmington.[1]Шаблон:Rp Constructed in 1889, the bridge is a Burr arch truss built on stone foundations and supported by steel girders; it is Шаблон:Convert long.[1]Шаблон:Rp

Unlike many Pennsylvania counties, Lawrence County never possessed many covered bridges; perhaps only five such bridges were ever built in the county. Today, only the Banks Covered Bridge and the McConnell's Mill Covered Bridge near Rose Point remain.[2]Шаблон:Rp While the Howe truss used by the McConnell's Mill bridge is very rare, the Burr arch truss used by the Banks bridge is employed by many Pennsylvania bridges. Its interior walls are similar to those featured on many covered bridges in Bucks County.[2]Шаблон:Rp

In 1980, the bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its historical significance,[3] along with the McConnell's Mill bridge.[2]
