Abstract:

In American, covered bridges were first built in the 1800s as a free alternative to merchant run ferries for travelers looking to cross rivers and creeks. These bridges have a rich history. All over America concrete and steel have replaced instead of repaired the structures that are so vital to our historical past. Down from 3,500 to approximately 138, the historic covered bridge that Ohioans over the centuries have enjoyed is quickly disappearing.
