Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Bridge — Attraction in Frenchtown

When it said, “wider vehicles are prohibited” I questioned my Chrysler Pacifica. Then I get 3/4 across and this larger truck is hauling a trailer behind it. Their tires were over the yellow line. I have no idea how I managed to get by and if their tires were hitting the guard rail on their side, but my van was a couple of inches from it. I slowed down to about 1 mile an hour. (The speed limit is 15 and I’m pretty sure people passed me going faster than that by the time I reached this road block). So that was the start of palpitations. When I finally made it through, feeling my heart pounding in my chest, I saw a huge back up behind me. Wondering how long it took that trailer to make it across. I hope they never try that again!

LOVE this bridge, it's a real 1o/1o scenic view. It runs a little long in the tooth on a hot summer's day crossing the state line but it helps work up an appetite for some Frenchtown snacks!

Great river for tubing and this bridge is a great stopover on...
