Schlicher Covered Bridge 38-39-06

Status:
Rebuilt bridge, with approximately 10% original material, expected to reopen to traffic July 2014. Schlicher's Bridge, which crosses the Jordan Creek at Game Preserve Road, was closed in late 2009 because the timber floor beams had deteriorated. Brown said the deterioration was due to normal "wear and tear" of a wooden structure. Brown said the bridge will be replaced so that it can bear more weight (maximum load had been 3 tons) but its historic appearance will be replicated.

1870s portal view

Sign transcription (above the portal, not including cast plaques): NOTICE Any person or persons riding or driving faster than a walk, or driving more than 15 head of cattle on or over this Bridge at the same time, shall pay a fine not less than Ten Dollars nor more than Thirty Dollars according to an Act of Assembly passed the 18th day of March, A.D..1868. L.M. Engelman Clerk of Commissioners Daniel Taught Thomas JaXXdry Deary R. PeaXXan Commissioners of Lehigh County 1865 (1863?) The 1865 was just below the two cast plaques, which I just couldn't make out in the image. The 1865 (last digit could be a flat topped 3). So, is this the build date?
