Built by David Ingerfield John Wood in 1862, the bridge stretches 230 feet across the swift-flowing South Fork of the Yuba River, and was part of the Virginia Turnpike Company Toll Road that once served the Northern Mines and Nevada?s Comstock Lode. The bridge was constructed with native lumber from Woods? mill in Plum Valley, in nearby Sierra County. The exterior of the bridge was finished with wood shingles. A walk through this historic covered bridge is reason enough to visit Bridgeport, but if you happen to visit during the summer, a chance to cool off in the Yuba?s icy waters is an added bonus. Motor traffic has been diverted away from the old bridge, al Read More Go to Site Bridges to the Past: Alabama's Covered Bridges Votes:0 W ooden covered bridges played an important role in the development of Alabama by providing safe passage over creeks and rivers at locations where crossing in a horse-drawn wagon or buggy would otherwise be extremely difficult or impossible. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, hundreds of covered bridges were constructed in the state, but now only a few remain. Those persistent engineering marvels that still stand have become popular tourist attractions, giving visitors insight into the needs and hardships of our ancestors. "Bridges to the Past," visits 11 historic covered bridges in Alabama, all of which are open to the public.

In its previous location at Alamuchee Creek, the bridge was where horse thief Steve Renfroe was executed by hanging. Ironically, Renfroe was serving as the county Sheriff when he was apprehended. Clarkson-Legg Bridge (1908) stretches 250 feet across a gorge cut by Crooked Creek in Cullman County. James Wordlaw Legg donated all materials for the bridge including timber, nails, sand, and rock.

The Coburn Covered Bridge is the only one to remain in East Montpelier. It reflects the widespread construction of covered bridges on Vermont's public highways from around 1820 to 1904, one of the highlights in Vermont's transportation history. Covered bridges were roofed and enclosed to protect the wooden structural elements from the weather, which in Vermont can be quite harsh.

Covered bridges are an important cultural feature on the Lane County landscape. Lane county has more covered bridges than any other county west of the Appalachian Mountains. Eighteen of the twenty bridges in the county are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Covered bridges were constructed to withstand heavy rains and salty sea air. The barn-type structures over the bridges protect the wood trusses and floor planking from the elements and extend the functional lives of the bridges. The design of the wooden bridges is similar to steel truss bridges, but the shortage of steel during World War I and the local access to high quality timber contributed to the use of wood as a bridge buildi Read More Go to Site Covered Bridge Tour Votes:0 Contoocook Covered Bridge Tour (Top-Down-Tour #1) If you're like me you enjoy driving around, finding the good back roads.

The county's bridges range in length from the 136 foot Herline Bridge near Manns Choice, PA to the Palo Alto bridge south of Hyndman. It is only 56 feet long. Twelve of the spans are Burr-truss bridges, so named after their designer, Theodore Burr.

Building dates of the bridges range from 1925 to 1987. Since steel and concrete were so expensive and high-quality timber was more accessible, the covered bridges were built from wood and then covered to keep the rain from ruining them. The older bridges are monuments to many hours of skilled hand labor. The bridges can be toured in a couple of hours or in a day with time out for lunch.

The first Hoosier covered bridge was completed in 1835 in Henry County. It is estimated that between 400 and 500 covered bridges may have existed in Indiana. The American Society of Civil Engineers suggests that perhaps 10,000 covered bridges were built in the United States between 1805 and 1885. Because the bridges were constructed with timber, they were covered to protect them from the elements. They were often the largest covered area in a community and were sometimes used for revival meetings, weddings, and political rallies. Two major Indiana covered bridge builders, J. J. Daniels and Joseph A. Britton, lived in the Rockville area, and a third, A. M.

W hen I first told my friends I was going to spend my vacation touring covered bridges in Oregon, I was greeted with blank stares and polite comments like ``Well, isn't that . . . interesting?'' I guess I can't blame them for their lack of enthusiasm. To many people nowadays -- especially Californians -- covered bridges, like horses and buggies, dirt roads and Model T's, seem distant and removed from modern life. But that's precisely why these wooden spans are so fascinating. During their heyday -- 1910 to 1930 -- there were more than 800 covered bridges sprinkled throughout the West. Today, their numbers have dwindled to a precious few, bypassed by modern highways and steel bridges.

Timber, used to construct bridges, was an easily accessable building material. It was discovered, however, that if they were covered, the life of the bridge was greatly increased and thus requiring very little maintenance. 1. Cavitt Creek Built: 1943 Length: 70 ft.

The Pass Creek covered bridge is one of 51 existing truss spans in the state. In addition to being one of the oldest bridges in Oregon, this is one of the few that is within city boundaries. The original bridge was built in the 1870's as part of the overland stage route from Roseburg to Scottsburg. It was rebuilt in 1925, and part of the present truss may be hand-hewn timbers reused from the 1870 bridge. The roof was rebuilt in 1969 after damage from heavy snowfall. The bridge structure is a 61 foot housed Howe truss and is basically unchanged from the original appearance. The one land bridge is 19.5 feet wide and 30 feet high at the gable peak.
