COOL!!!! that is the Harpersfield covered bridge, in Ashtabula County, Ohio. i'm from that county. Do you know where the longest covered bridge in USA is????? its here in this county, Smolen / Gulf covered bridge. there was a covered bridge torn down in Eagleville right by me in youth, that split in half and made into a pizza parlor in N Kingsville and Andover. now back to our regular programming...........

Hijacking the thread slightly have to ask - why did they build a covered bridge rather than just an ordinary one? I'm guessing they are relatively common in the US judging by these photos but not something I've ever come across.
… and to keep the game going, bike with a sidecar:

… and to keep the game going, bike with a sidecar:
Is it for wind protection, wind is often channelled down rivers etc so I suppose you could need more cover there?
Or is it that one town did it and then other neighbouring ones followed, a sort of civic "keeping up with the joneses"?
I was thinking just snow or rain protection didn't make sense because why do the bridge but not the road:-)
Wooden bridges in eastern us and canada need protection, in our climate, from rain and snow. If they are not covered they will rot in a short time. That was the technology of the late 19 century.
A Google search turned up numerous reasons for a covered bridge. Here is the first and the link where it is found:
A covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge with a roof and siding which, in most coveredbridges , create an almost complete enclosure. The purpose of the covering is to protect the wooden structural members from the weather.
