In
1997 we erected a covered bridge where Woods Road crosses Long Fork
Creek. Being near the center of the property it soon became a focal
point and
landmark. The concept and design originated from the pictures given
to me by a dear friend who passed away in 1996. Sue Maggert loved
the covered
bridges in Vermont therefore Sue's Bridge was built in her memory.
The 72 foot span features wooden rails and open sides so that residents
of
The Woods can enjoy the soothing rush of Long Fork Creek as it emerges
from the shadows of the nearby laurel thicket. The bridge is constructed
of lumber sawn from the native timber at a local sawmill and covered
with forest green metal roofing. As a final tribute, a copula complete
with a cast iron bell was built mid span. Since its original construction,
approximately 260 tons of native mountain stone have been added. This
structure is truly a work of art destined to last hundreds of years.
