Builders roofed and sided timber bridges to keep rain and snow off the main structural timbers, which would otherwise rot far sooner. MaineDOT puts it simply: the bridges were covered "to keep the rain and snow from the massive working timbers" (MaineDOT, checked 2026-11-01). Learn more about truss types.
How we check
- Facts come from state inventories in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, plus National Register records.
- Every fact has a citation, and every page shows the date we last checked it.
- We show "Not verified" instead of guessing about parking, access or load limits.
