Longest Covered Bridge in the World


Here's a picture of my mother, Irene, taken around 1940 standing in front of the "Longest Covered Bridge in the World." I love the jagged edges of the photo.


I wonder if this speed limit is still in effect today? This is in response to Mary Tomaselli's post on New Brunswick Covered Bridges for Postcard Friendship Friday!

  8. I've been on covered bridges where they say to not go over 5 km. so I suspect there's still a speed limit or the bridge might even be closed!
