The covered bridge is not gone.


The trivia section says the "cedar bridge" was destroyed by fire in 2002. A check at Wikipedia says that the bridge featured in the film is called the Roseman Covered Bridge. There is a brief history of the bridge: built 1883, added to National Register of Historic Places 1976, renovated 1992. There is no mentioned of being destroyed by fire. I went to Google Earth and entered "Roseman Covered Bridge", believing it being on the National Register would be all the information need. Google went right to it in satellite view (no street-views on any roads in the area). This view shown is clearly the same bridge as shown in the aerial-view at the close of the film. As of the March 19, 2015 imagery date, the bridge appears in perfect condition. But it is no longer in-use: there are barriers against vehicular traffic beyond each end .

First - the movie features several bridges, not just the Roseman Bridge. Francesca and Kincaid meet at various bridges -- Roseman & Holliwell are mentioned explicitly

The one that had a fire is the Cedar Covered Bridge. I think this is the bridge where Kincaid takes photos early in the movie. The bridge is still there. There was a fire in 2002, which was an act of vandalism I think? But they rebuilt the bridge. There have been other fires too.

The bridge is closed to vehicular traffic. But the bridge still serves as a huge tourist attraction, largely because of this film. You have drive through some tough dirt roads to reach there, I’ve heard. I want to visit, once Covid is over
