Some of you may recall the Albany Bridge from my series on covered bridges last year. It was the one that was fastened by metal rods to bedrock on the river banks to keep it from being washed away by spring floods.
The road on which the bridge is situated is part of the National Forest and is not maintained in winter. Fortunately, the parking lot is plowed and accessible. That means the bridge and the road beyond it is perfect for cross country skiers and others.
I’d like to return in the spring to see that the river looks like and how high it rises.
This is one of the rods holding the bridge in place.
Wonderful pictures, Chris. Have a peaceful Sunday.
Thank you. You as well.
A charming and serene winter landscape, it is nice to see that this covered bridge is well maintained.
Thank you. The town and National Forest Service collaborate on maintining this bridge. They do a great job.
Wonderful captures.
Thank you so much.
I love the contrasting colors in the first photo!
Thank you, Liz.
You’re welcome, Chris.
I love this kind of woden bridges – we don’t have them like this in our country.
Thank you. We take them for granted but I hear they are rather unique.
Another beautiful covered bridge, and even with the snow filled approach, it makes me want to walk up and get a closer look.
Thank you. It was nice that this road was getting so much recreational use.
One of these days, I’ll go take a look at the Covered Bridges in our area to see how they are doing from the heavy snow we’ve had this Winter. They should be ok.
I would think they would be fine.
I think so too.
We like these pictures. We wouldn’t have guessed that this bridge is in the US. We lived for quite a while in Switzerland where such bridges are traditional. You find them all over the country.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you. I wasn’t aware they had covered bridges in Switzerland.
Only thing missing is a buggy riding through ♥
Yes – That’s what we need!
Lovely pictures Chris! A winter wonderland that’s rich for exploring!
Looking forward to your Spring Adventure!
I’m still doing winter shots but hope to see spring soon. Thank you
