There are 12 of them in Bucks County PA, here is a site with info on them. I believe 10 or so are still in use.
My HOG chapter does a covered bridge poker run each June and we hit 4-5 of them.

How about 1/2 a bridge? This was near Woodstock VT.
And the Cornish Windsor covered bridge over the Connecticut River between Cornish, New Hampshire and Windsor, Vermont
Info on the bridge

On the way there there was a bunch of bikes on the side of the road, I carry some tools so I stopped to see if I might help, but there was no helping the v-star with a rod hanging outside the case.

I think even McGiver would have a hard time with a roadside fix on that one  |

07XL1200c, I guess I will add to your post. Happened to see the sign to turn off US-19 while looking for an interesting final destination before heading back to Conyers the other day.
"The Auchumpkee Creek bridge was destroyed in the floods of 1994, after its 100th birthday. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided $166,000, and Upson County Historic Preservation Commission chairman Bobby C. Smith, a Thomaston real estate agent, helped raise over $42,000 for retrieving the leftover bridge members and restoring the bridge."

Rockdale Covered Bridge
3:00 in the morning ride with friends. Had not seen a car for 15 minutes; small back road, stopped on the covered bridge, took one picture, and.... car lights around the corner.... never have i jumped on my bike so fast.... never got that one good picture that I wanted....
