Yeah, it's amazing how we preserve a 19th century bridge yet 50% of our modern bridges are falling apart. We have a modern replica no too far from the house. It's pretty cool but doesn't have the old world look.
Good Night Irene!

people w/out power don't have access to CL, wanna sell it fast then head into any area that got whacked; both homeowners and contractors would be in need of extra power.......

I didn't have ANY problems with the hurricane - didn't lose power or phone or water...rained a bit, tiny bit of wind, that's it. Feel bad for the 100k people in my state still without power.
Yeah I saw that bridge fall too...but it was like 200 years old and would have eventually collapsed anyway, probably with people in cars on it.
Guess theres some chaos going on in Foxboro - all the residents are still without power, yet the Patriots have power at Gillette stadium. There's a town meeting right now voting on whether or not the game should be played tomorrow. The residents are just about rallying around with pitchforks and torches. Pretty messed up having a game next door and not being able to watch it on tv (or shave or make coffee or turn the water heater on). I say give the residents free admission to the game as well as like 3 hotdogs and 2 sodas and popcorn. Bob Kraft is a slimy little weasle piece of shit. I hate the Patriots.

If you're talking about a covered bridge, they're usually maintained. The covered structure makes the bridge last longer. Lots of repair goes into the cover over the decades, kind of like repairing the roof on your house.
One of those wash outs stranded a wedding party for 4 days, lol, About time for the divorce.

I hear ya...but seems like every covered bridge I've seen in film collapses or is sketchy...bridges from -
Silver Bullet (starts falling apart at the most ill-opportune time - when a werewolf is chasing a kid who's in a wheelchair)
Beetlejuice (how the couple actually comes to die and haunt their house alongside Beetlejuice)
Yeah, I forgot that haunted covered-bridges are typically derelict.
