    Extractions: ”Few icons of the American landscape take us back in time to a quieter period in our history than does the covered bridge with its enduring strength and simplicity, in harmony with the countryside it continues to serve. Wooden covered bridges are among the United States’ most treasured engineering landmarks. They are romantic symbols of the past and a link with our engineering forefathers…and they revive memories from our heritage, a heritage that will never be replaced once it is gone.” But Why Covered? The roof and weatherboarding was not for the protection of travelers, or their horses, the loads of hay, or the sweethearts strolling in the fragrant shadows. Nor was it to protect the plank roadway of the bridges, they were readily replaceable. Covering was not to keep the snow off. Roofs were put on the covered bridges to keep the main structural timbers dry. Staunch as they appeared, they would quickly rot if left exposed to be alternately wet by rains and dampness and then scorched by the sun.

    Extractions: TABLE MOUNTAIN IN BUTTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA View toward the Waterfall on North Table Mountain. View of the Cliff on North Table Mountain. Both pictures taken on April 20, 2002. A BEAUTIFUL PLACE Hi, I'm Larry Matthews. Welcome to this web site about a mountain that means a lot to me! Since 1963 I have lived within 30 miles of Table Mountain in Butte County, California. For 20 of those years I lived within its shadow. It is a wonderful mountain and is a very unique mesa. It's located just north-east of Oroville, California which is 75 miles north of Sacramento. For the majority of the year it is green and full of wonderful wildflowers. However it only takes a month of 90+ weather to reduce the color to yellow-brown. During the summer the heat exceeds the 100 degree mark and the mountain then looks barren. I have hiked the mountain innumerable times since 1963. It is wonderful to explore the green, tree lined mesas that extend themselves north-eastward toward the Sierra Nevadas. Even those who have lived here all of their lives don't realize that the mountain is in three pieces. The southern table is the most obvious: the one with the concrete "O" on it that faces Oroville. If one hikes the first table he or she will see that on the northern end the mountain drops off into a valley and immediately comes back up to the butte (the smallest part of the mountain). Those who drive up Cherokee road do not usually realize that this drop exists and think that all three of the parts of the mountain are connected. Actually there are two very distinct valleys between all three parts.

    Extractions: A Guide to Old Covered Bridges of Southeastern Pennsylvania and nearby areas Thomas Mill Bridge The Only Standing Historic Covered Bridge within Philadelphia City Limits Covered bridges symbolize small-town America. Something from the nineteenth century, a little archaic and strange to nineteen-nineties eyes, picturesque and sentimental, "kissing bridges" recall a time when life was simpler and closer to the land if only in our dreams. Covered bridges complement autumn leaves and autumn emotions. Photogenic and often remote from the Interstate Highways and cities of the twentieth century, covered bridges lure the explorer to find the little streams and dirt roads that the twentieth century has almost passed by. These documents are a guide to the old covered bridges of Southeastern Pennsylvania and nearby areas, that is, the counties of Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster, Philadelphia, and nearby New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware State. Tell me what you think. Contents: Pictorial essays: Long Ago But Not Far Away "The Bridges of Chester County "

    Oregon Department of Transportation offers photographs and brief histories of a selection of the over 50 surviving spans in the state.  
    http://www.odot.state.or.us/eshtm/cb.htm
    
    Extractions: Welcome to the Covered Bridges page, presented by Environmental Services, Oregon Department of Transportation. Oregon has the largest collection of covered bridges in the western part of the United States, with over 50 extant covered spans. Because of the easy availability of forest resources in Oregon, most of the early bridges in the state were timber structures. These timber bridges were often covered to protect them from the weather. Now, the remaining examples of this obsolete bridge construction technology, generally located in pastoral rural settings, provide one of the most significant tourist attractions in the state. The bridge shown above is the Jordan Covered Bridge (1937), now lost. NEW!! ODOT's Bridge Section has recently completed a survey of Oregon's Covered Bridges, and has prepared a new website which includes information, photos, and maps to each of the covered bridges in the state. The file is assembled in PDF format, and requires Acrobat Reader to view. Additionally, the file size is large, and will take a few minutes to load using a dial-up modem connection. The online PDF version of the new Covered Bridges information and maps can be accessed here.

90. Schuylkill
    Illustrated article discusses the structures of these early bridge builders.  
    http://william-king.www.drexel.edu/top/bridge/schuylkill.html
    
    Extractions: Wernwag was an engineer and inventor who had already built bridges over Neshaminy Creek and Frankford Creek. The Frankford Creek "Economy" bridge was a drawbridge, on the following plan: The Upper Ferry site probably was not too far from the modern Spring Garden Bridge, connecting the area then known as Fairmount with the western bank. As shown in the figure "Wernwag's Bridge at Upper Ferry," above, Wernwag's new bridge was a single arched span of 340 feet 3 3/4 inches. This made it the second-longest single-span bridge in the world, according to some authorities. Here is Wernwag's plan for the bridge: The Upper Ferry bridge was built in 1812, to be destroyed by fire in 1838. It was a considerable sensation, considered a new "wonder of the world," and came to be known as "The Colossus at Philadelphia" or "The Colossus at Fairmount." Because of the interest in it, a number of images of it come down to us in old prints from the time. Here is a curious one: The subject matter of this print is the Water Works, not really the bridge, but no matter Wernwag had designed the Water Works, which were built in the early 1820's. The great bridge is visible in the background. Let's take a closer look at it:

93. GORP - Exploring The Landmarks Of Southern Vermont Part I - The Bridges Of Benni
    The stories and history of the county's covered bridges. Great Outdoor Recreation Pages  
    http://www.gorp.com/gorp/publishers/countryman/bik_vtbr.htm
    
    Extractions: by Ed Barna Vermont's covered bridges stand as symbols of an honored past and as proof of that past's enduring relevance. These tunnels into yesteryear recall the days when town selectmen would specify that a bridge be built"a load of hay high and wide" and when the resulting barn like structure would become, by turns, a kiosk for advertisements, a clubhouse for the neighborhood children, and an excuse for courting couples to steal a kiss while out on a drive. They are a delight to the eye, an almost natural expression of the forested landscape roundabout and an ornament to the hilly terrain's many splendid streams. Yet they are not simply quaint relics; the great majority continue to perform their original function, now carrying traffic even heavier than their designers had anticipated. If Vermont has the most covered bridges per square mile in the country, that is partly because many were built later than in other states. That, in turn, is because Vermont was long a frontier, where Indian raids and legal battles over land ownership limited settlement before the Revolutionary War.

    Manufactures and supplies a range of wooden bridges. Products include beam, arch, truss, and covered bridges.  
    http://www.vierumaenteollisuus.fi/eng/tuotteet/bridges.html
    
    Extractions: For the last ten years, developments in lamination techniques and new structural solutions have taken a turn in the opposite direction, with the percentage of bridges built using wood rapidly increasing. Vierumäen Teollisuus Oy has played a silnificant part in this trend. As long as 25 years, Vierumäen Teollisuus has manufactured and supplied wooden bridges. The appearance of a wooden bridge can be modern, ascetic or romantic, always fit for the circumstances and use. Pressure impregnated gluelam wood is most competitive material for bridges. A wooden bridge is light, no heavy foundations are needed. However, their load bearing capacity is high, gluelam wood bridges can, e.g. be dimensioned for total and axle weights. Ready-made bridges delivered as one complete unit.
