Covered bridge are timber-truss bridges consisting of a roof, decking, and siding and are often painted red, or white. More than 14,000 covered bridges were built in the United States, mostly between the years 1825-1875. Many have since been replaced with more robust steel bridges that can handle heavier vehicles and more traffic, and last longer with less upkeep. Today, roughly 750 remain in the United States, mostly in rural areas of the Eastern US. Good places to spot them include; Indiana (98), Ohio (54), and Pennsylvania (219).
