Covered bridges are always nice to see.
This one, to me, has lines and design which strike me as being relatively modern... as opposed to old, traditional styles. I may be wrong. But that's how it struck me at first glance.
Can you give me any help about that?

My wife and I took a detour coming home from visiting my folks in California when we saw the sign for Madison County, Iowa. We took in the town where John Wayne was born, the house where the movie with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep was made, and I got shots of all the bridges. It was a great impromptu sidetrack.

Someone should make a movie about them...

This is the only bridge that still is in use. I’m not sure when it was built. It was the smallest of the bridges I photographed.

Cedar bridge was in use when it was burned down but I think they blocked the road after it was rebuilt.

Hi I'm from the UK & we don't have covered bridges, such as this one (great shot by the way).
Are these unique to the USA? And what is the purpose of putting a cover over a bridge, apart from keeping the rain & snow off?
Seems a little incongruous to us on this side of the pond? Nice feature though.

A beautiful bridge and quite a nice shot. Dare I ask; on whose land were you standing?
