[edit] Longest, eh?
See Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge (longer, but two spans), Old Blenheim Bridge with one span at 232ft, and Bridgeport Covered Bridge with one span at 251ft. However, I notice that both the OBB and the BCB are listed as pedestrian bridges. Does the JCB carry regular traffic? What's its load limit? - Denimadept (talk) 17:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I fixed it. Structurae uses "Great American Bridges and Dams" as a reference, so I went there, since I happen to have that book. The proper length is 207 feet (63 m), the "longest" it is, but only in its county, not the country. - Denimadept (talk) 04:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I was just looking at the New Hampshire web page for the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge when I noticed that it is rated for 10 tons. That doesn't sound like a pedestrian bridge, though the BCB and the OBB are a different matter. - Denimadept (talk) 20:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] And another thing
There are four references here. Two of them are the GABD book and Structurae. If you look at the Structurae entry, it refers to the GABD book. I don't know if Structurae also uses another source. If it doesn't, we could simplify by just referring to the GABD book and keeping the Structurae reference as an external link. - Denimadept (talk) 04:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
