I love covered bridges and the unique sound of vehicles crossing them.

Some Maine covered bridges
Nice set, Pat. I'm not familiar with that first one. Good that you didn't show details of the graffiti in the Porter-Parsonsfield bridge. I noticed from looking at some of my own photos that some of it is not exactly G-rated.

So fun to imagine the olden days when those covered bridges saw much use.

p.13 So, you got to see the bridge in the "up" position. The former bridge had to be opened often and preferred to get stuck up in the air - trapping traffic on either side.

Very interesting and Unique indeed, they are very rare I think, I myself have never had the opportunity to Walk or Drive thru a Wooden Covered Bridge. I will need to investigate and see if we have any in our state of Michigan, if not far I will go for a Photography outing.

Speaking of New England, Pat, you woke me up. These were done on the Kancamagus Hwy, the sky was from the top of road in the White Mountains and the bridge is down below and west of Conway I think the town is
Nice one, Roadrunner. That bridge is in the town of Albany, NH.

Karin a couple of more. I Hired on with the contractor doing inspection on the what was Rt 17 In N.Y. I worked as instrument man on the survey crew and as well a concrete inspector.
Piers were 50 or 60 feet high. A concrete pore would start at 6am and some ended 12 hours later.
