Information

Bridge Valley Elementary School, named after the historic eight-arch bridge that crosses Neshaminy Creek, opened in September of 2004. 

In 1801, a group of citizens of Warwick Township petitioned Bucks County for a new bridge to replace the old rotting stone-and-timber bridge then spanning the Neshaminy Creek at Bridge Valley.

After 290 days of construction at an expense of $15,561.40 (which included board for the workers), the eight-arch stone bridge was completed in 1804 and was the longest stone arch bridge in Pennsylvania built at that time.

The eight-arch bridge over the Neshaminy Creek (adjacent to present Route 263) was once an important transportation landmark; it is now used as a pedestrian bridge.
