Foster, Rhode Island, USA

Is it an authentic covered bridge? No. If you were using the World Guide to Covered Bridges, you would not be able to find it. Why? Because the truss bears none of the weight of the roadway. That mission is accomplished by six I-beams that stretch from bank to bank. The Swamp River bridge (with its lattice truss) dates from the late 20th century. [2019]
