S Bridge was a historic stone arch bridge located at Marion Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania. It was a multiple span 230-foot-long (70 m), stone arch bridge with three spans, constructed in 1919. It crossed Tulpehocken Creek.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1] In 2001, the bridge was closed when one of the bridge walls began to separate from an arch.[3] After a decade of disuse, it was demolished and replaced with a concrete span in 2011.[4]
