Keller's Bridge

Keller's Bridge is reported to be the only white bridge in Lancaster County, the barn red color having replaced whitewashing in most cases. This bridge is located in a heavily built-up suburban area. It is also known as Guy Bard bridge for a local jurist and as Rettew's Bridge, presumably for the same person as the road is named for.
