Nice view of the bridge. I've never really investigated the purpose of the covering on the bridge but it must have been useful. Perhaps during inclement weather.

Bridges were originally covered, not to protect what was on the top, (the road) the top, but to protect what was underneath- the trusses and support structure that enabled the bridge to connect the two sides of what it spanned.

This is a particularly pretty one Corinne- how nice you get to use it frequently!
