Below is a list of covered bridges in Rhode Island. There is only one authentic covered bridge in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. 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).
