Cold Spring Bridge is a historic concrete open-spandrel arch bridge located at Whitehall Township and North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1930, and is a 228-foot-long (69 m) bridge, with a single 160-foot-long (49 m) arch consisting of six symmetrically placed spandrel arches. It crosses Spring Creek.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
In 2014 the bridge was considered to be structurally deficient and scheduled to be replaced by a three span bulb T-beam bridge costing $3.8 million. It had an average daily traffic volume of 2,461 vehicles.
