The Pine Valley Covered Bridge, also known as the Iron Hill Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge located in New Britain Borough, near Doylestown in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It crosses Pine Run Creek near Peace Valley Park.
This town truss bridge, which measures 81 feet (25 m) in length, was built by David Sutton in 1842 at a cost of $5553.50. That amount is equal to $137,822.55 today.
Posted for years with a height restriction of 11'6" (3.5 meters), it was reposted in 2007 to 9'4" (2.85 meters) after an overheight truck passed through it and damaged the roof. It carries a posted weight rating of 24,000 pounds (11,000 kg).
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1980.
