NOTE:
People will ask why I decided to post this and similar bridges on ATAWALK when they are only concrete culvert with no real wooden covered bridge support structure save for the roof. Well, if a town, a company, or a village decide to spend extra money to cover and make a “simple” culvert look more attractive, it should be noted and given a chance to be better known. If in a few years, this very structure should be destroyed during a flood, there is a chance for it to be replace by a true covered bridge! In the meantime, I believe the efforts to make this look nice have to be noticed!
