Nothing too exciting for most. I’ve come across several covered bridges during my travels and I find them fascinating for some reason. Apparently Oregon is known for them or something. Any way, this is the Hannah Bridge, build it 1936, and crosses Thomas Creek. Of the few I’ve seen, this seems the shortest. And yes, they’re all one lane.

The world’s longest covered bridge is in Hartland, New Brunswick and is a national historic site.

A wooden bridge is exposed to rain and snow, and will degrade over time. Putting a roof over the bridge will prolong the life of the bridge. Also keeping rain and snow off a bridge keeps it from icing up in the winter and makes it a bit safer. Lots of reasons to put roofs over bridges.

I was just wondering this.

I traveled from east of Indianapolis to dang near StL on two lanes only and hit every covered bridge i could find between. This one is beautiful

There a shit ton of them about an hour or so west of Indy. I’ve visited like 2 dozen of them. There were 14 public ones here in KY but I think it’s down to 12. The last one ky lost was due to arson

Dammit! I've yet to come across any here in the commonwealth yet. I'm far western, most our old bridges are covered, but only in gravel.

Most are in central and northern Kentucky. I think the one that is currently the furthest west is Switzer which is between Frankfort and Georgetown. There was one in Washington county until arsons visited it recently.
