Scottown Covered Bridge
Back in 1991 when they last restored this bridge they forgot the #1 reason why covered bridges are roofed and sided...to protect the trusses!
Scottown Covered Bridge
Unfortunately the open sides have exposed the truss members to the elements resulting in serious damage. In some places large portions of the truss are rotted away.

This bridge is no longer open to traffic, but is still standing.
