List of covered bridges in Maryland
Below is a list of covered bridges in Maryland. There are six authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Maryland[1] of which five are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.
