    Very sad, beautful old bridge, I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, we do not have covered bridges here, just a question, why cover them? To keep snow off? I'm sure there was a good reason that I just don't know. Anyone know why?

    Good question! They were covered to help preserve and protect the actual bridge structure.

    I just heard on our news that they will be rebuilding the bridge that was destroyed as it was insured for $1,000,000

    I love the old covered bridges and this was just on our news on tv. So I had to surf online to read all about it and watch the video.

    click on the arrow in the middle of the video to watch the video!
