Early bridges were often made of wood, especially where it was a plentiful resource. Wooden bridges tended to deteriorate rapidly from exposure to the elements, having a useful lifespan of only nine years. Covering them protected their structural members, thus extending their life to 80 years or more.
This is a great example of our historic covered bridges. It should be an easy find unless there is more than a couple of feet of snow.
