Wehr Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located at South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It is a three span, 117-foot-long (36 m), Burr Truss bridge, constructed in 1841. It has horizontal siding and gable roof. It crosses Jordan Creek.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. After an incident in July 2014 in which a grossly overweight truck crossed the bridge, it was closed for several days for inspection. The bridge did not sustain significant structural damage, but county officials decided to reduce the posted weight limit from 20,000 pounds (9,000 kg) to 8,000 pounds (4,000 kg).
