At one time, the United States had as many as 12,000 covered bridges, according to the book "Covered Bridges Today." Estimates on the current number range from roughly 850 to about 1,000. Pennsylvania, with 219 covered bridges, about 150 of which still are in use, has the most. “The preservation efforts are rather spotty,” says Roger Small, corresponding secretary of the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society of Pennsylvania. "It depends on the political and local climate."https://www.americancityandcounty.com/1998/03/01/americas-covered-bridges-spanning-the-years
