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.
A fine example of a NB Covered Bridge still in service after 100 years. Wow.... They don't build them like they used to. It should be OK up to about 2 feet of snow.
