Picture of the Day - 8/8/2010

Humpback Bridge, Western Virginia - This covered bridge is located off I-64 and US-60, near the town of Covington in western Virginia. Built of hand-hewn lumber in 1835, this 100-foot long single span bridge is unique in that the arch was built in. The center is about four feet higher than the ends. This may be the only one like it in the U.S. In 1953, it was refurbished and five acres of land was purchased for a wayside and picnic area.
