This bridge crosses the River Aar in Switzerland to the village of Zuchwil along the river from Feldbrunnen where I live.
The Röti Bridge in Solothurn, Switzerland. Above you see the underside of the road bridge and below the bridge for pedestrians. This bridge is only a few years old. I remember it being built. The old bridge was replaced but was still being used whilst they constructed the new bridge next to it. It was very interesting to watch a new bridge growing, and the transfer from the old to the new bridge went very well.
Another new bridge. A new stretch of motorway from Solothurn to the town of Biel/Bienne was built in Switzerland and of course it had a few new bridges. We were on our way to Biel when I took the photo from the car. The sign on the right shows that you are now entering the Kanton/State of Bern from the Kanton/State of Solothurn, A bear is the symbol of the state of Bern on the shield.
This is the bridge at Wangen an der Aare, further along the River Aar to where I live. It is one of the typical old Swiss style covered bridges. I have crossed it often with Mr. Swiss at the wheel. I do not like driving across myself. As you can see from the sign, it is one traffic, and you have to be careful that no-one is coming from the opposite direction when you drive across.
Lovely, wide civilized bridges. Love the covered bridge. We have a few old covered bridges locally, though most are no longer in use for cars. Nice photos!

I remember the film with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep, the Bridges of Madison County.

I love the covered bridge with the cobblestone street. I think this would be a great place to take a black and white photo, making sure you get some good texture from the cobblestones and the roof of the bridge.
