The Jericho Covered Bridge is a Burr arch through truss wooden covered bridge near Jerusalem, Harford County and Kingsville, Baltimore County, in Maryland, United States and near historic Jerusalem Mill Village. The bridge was constructed in 1865 across the Little Gunpowder Falls. This bridge is 88 feet (27 m) long and 14.7 feet (4.5 m) wide and is open to traffic.[2][3]


The Jericho Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]


There are also rumors the bridge is 'haunted' by the ghosts of civil war soldiers. The bridge is believed to be a site where former Civil War soldiers committed suicide.
