Canada, Quebec Red Bridge

When the Pont Rouge (Red Bridge) of Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière was built over the Palmer River in 1928, covered bridges were already commonplace here in Quebec. Simple designs imported from the United States allowed relatively untrained workers to quickly construct crossings like this. 'Ponts rouges' (often called this whether or not they were painted red) popped up wherever rural French Canadians required a convenient river crossing—as many as 1,500 were built between the late 1800s and the 1950s. Today fewer than 100 still stand, and some—like this one—are protected by local and provincial agencies for historic preservation.

加拿大魁北克红桥

1928年，圣阿加泰德·洛比尼埃的红桥（Pont Rouge）在帕尔默河上修建时，盖梁桥在魁北克已经司空见惯。从美国进口的简单设计允许相对未经培训的工人快速建造这样的过境点19世纪末至20世纪50年代，在法裔加拿大人需要方便的河流穿越的地方，就出现了红桥（无论是否被漆成红色，通常称之为红桥），修建了多达1500座。今天，只有不到100个仍然存在，像这一个这样的一些是由地方和省级机构保护的历史保护。
