Talk:Jackson Covered Bridge

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)

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)
