连接康涅狄格州(Connecting Connecticut)

像今天图片中的西康沃尔廊桥这样的廊桥设计有屋顶和墙板，以保护其木结构免受风化，大大提高了其耐用性。虽然许多建筑建于19世纪，但很少有幸存至今，而那些幸存下来的建筑往往因其历史和视觉意义而被保存下来。
原文：
Covered bridges like West Cornwall Covered Bridge, pictured in today's image, were designed with roofs and siding to protect their wooden structures from weathering, greatly increasing their durability. While many were built in the 19th century, few have survived to the present day, and the ones that have are often preserved for their historical and visual significance.
