Quoting "[email protected]" <[email protected]>:
We also have them in Canada, but there aren't many left. There is
one left in the whole province of Ontario in the village of West
Montrose, near Kitchener where I once lived.
Of note is the fact that the world's longest covered bridge spans
the St. John River at Hartland, New Brunswick:

Makes me proud to be a Canadian! :-)
BTW the reason they were covered was not to keep users dry, rather
to keep water off the wooden road bed in an effort to prevent rot so
the bed would not have to be replaced as often.
That's a really impressive structure. Thanks for the background info, Frank.
