Great video..thanks for braving the cold and snow to show us a bit of Vermont. I always thought those bridges were really old and totally constructed of wood, but the first one had concrete pylons, so perhaps that one is not that old ?. The second one was certainly old as you pointed out "1852" and appeared to have doors which I thought was unusual. Shawna must be used to your sense of humor .. at 2:52 .."take your time ..let me know if you fall" Have a great week look forward to the next video.
@@garthf9609 The first bridge is the Chiselville Covered Bridge in Sunderland, Vermont. And it was actually built in 1870. The second one is the West Arlington Covered Bridge in Arlington Vermont. No, it doesn't have doors on it. Anyway, yeah Shawna is well used to my joking ways..lol! We are glad you enjoyed the video! And as always, thank you for you support..😎
@@grahambates1740 The main reason for the cover was to shield the wooden trusses and deck from the elements, allowing the bridge to last much longer compared to an exposed wooden bridge.

Really interesting video. Any idea why roofs were put over the bridges? Most bridges are open. Really enjoy your videos, you're both nice people.
