Legends listed
Since much of our larger structures have gone and are now only vague souvenirs or faded B/W photos, I think it appropriate to list on ATAWALK.net some of the largest covered bridges that existed. My first "LEGEND" is in Ohio...
Zanesville, where else... the Y-Bridge, that is in MUSKINGUM County. ROBERVAL County Quebec also sport a few ghosts, Taillon, Carbonneau and Taché, once the longest, largest and most breath-taking covered bridges in Québec, twins... curved-bridges, name it, there was at one point probably more town trusses in Lac St-John Region than standing trees...

http://www.atawalk.net/QuebecFiles/61-99.html for the present and past covered bridges in the area, pictured above is the Taché Bridge over the Grande Décharge between what was then St-Joseph d'Alma and Isle Maligne... the photo was taken May 26, 1928 hours before the 3 eastern spans of the bridge where taken down. The largest of the four span measuring 220 feet was left alone. Three new span where rebuilt and the bridge lasted until 1947.
Go peek... have fun!!!
