I’ve long been fascinated by those covered bridges you have in the US. Is there a reason they are the way they are? Are all bridges built that way in particular states?

Covered bridges started in the old days when the structural elements of the bridges were made of wood. It was cost effective to build a roof over the wooden bridge so it would last longer. They have since become a New England icon. Many covered wooden bridges are rebuilt when damaged or burned down to preserve the history of the area.
