The Humpback Bridge near Covington, Va., was a place that I took many pictures of while I was taking a photography class at Virginia Western Community College in Roanoke a few years ago (this is not my photo, though I wish it was!).
The historic bridge was built in 1857, and it runs over Dunlap Creek. It was built higher in the middle than at its other end, hence it's name Humpback Bridge.
(This is a different view of the same bridge)
The bridge was used from 1857 to 1929 before it was retired. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
Another one of my favorite covered bridges in Virginia is the Meems Bottom Bridge (pictured below) in the town of Mount Jackson, Va., which is some 90 miles north of Covington in Shenandoah County. It is another place I've taken many photos of. It is also very close to the Johnny Appleseed Restaurant in New Market, which was the subject of the previous entry in this series.
