List of covered bridges in New Jersey

Below is a list of covered bridges in New Jersey. There are only two authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of New Jersey of which one is historic.[1] A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.
