Covered Bridges (part 2)

I was interested in finding out some history of covered bridges after posting my first blog in this series. Wikepedia shares this... 

The oldest surviving truss bridge in the world is the Kapellbrücke in Switzerland, first built in the 1300s. Modern-style timber truss bridges were pioneered in Switzerland in the mid-1700s.^[9] Germany has 70 surviving historic wooden covered bridges.^[10]

• The Holzbrücke Bad Säckingen spans the river Rhine from Bad Säckingen, Germany, to Stein, Switzerland. It was first built before 1272, and has been destroyed and rebuilt many times.
• Switzerland has many timber covered bridges,^[11] including Kapellbrücke, Spreuer Bridge, and Neubrügg.
• The Ponte Coperto in Pavia is a stone and brick arch bridge over the Ticino River in Pavia, Italy. The previous bridge, dating from 1354 (itself a replacement for a Roman construction), was heavily damaged by Allied bombing in 1945. A debate on whether to fix or replace it ended when the bridge partially collapsed in 1947, requiring new construction, which began in 1949.

About 14,000 covered bridges have been built in the United States,^[13] mostly in the years 1825 to 1875.^[2] The first documented was the Permanent Bridge, completed in 1805 to span the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia.^[14][15] However, most other early examples of covered bridges do not appear until the 1820s. Extant bridges from that decade include New York's Hyde Hall Bridge and Pennsylvania's Hassenplug Bridge, both built in 1825, and the Haverhill–Bath Covered Bridge and the Roberts Covered Bridge, in New Hampshire and Ohio respectively, both built in 1829.^[5]

The vast majority of America's remaining covered bridges can be found in the eastern states with the notable exception of Oregon, which possesses a collection of around fifty.

Bartram-Goshen Covered Bridge

The following are taken from the two directions of this covering over a roadway, named Blue Ridge, Georgia. I don't see any indication that it is really a bridge, nor goes over a waterway of any kind. Can it be considered a covered bridge?

Someone is thinking along more modern lines for this bridge.

Unknown red wooden bridge. I tried to increase contrast and darken the photo...can you read whatever the sign says?

That's all the bridges labeled with "B" or one without a label. There are a few more in my folder...

Being single or being in a relationship are both valid options for living life and one is not better than the other.

Auguste Rodin, sculptor said, “I invent nothing, I rediscover,” and “Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.”
