The Sanborn Bridge in Lyndonville, Vermont is badly damaged and needs
your help.
The 150-year-old Bridgeport Covered Bridge in California's South Yuba River State Park is the longest single-span wooden covered bridge in
North America.
The bridge is closed due to safety concerns. 
The McKee Bridge
in Jackson County, Oregon, was closed in October 2011 after a routine
inspection discovered a critical defect. The County was awarded a grant
for repairs and has raised matching funds for the project. Bids for the
project are expected in late July with construction to follow shortly
after.
