    This one-span, 120 foot long covered bridge in Winston-Salem is a Burr arch truss built in 1998, is a pedestrian bridge leading to the Old Salem historical Moravian village in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  A site maintained by Dale Travis lists approximately 40 covered bridges still standing in North Carolina, with the majority of them of late twentieth-century construction.  An article appearing in Professional Engineer indicates that the Burr truss was used here due to the preference for that form by the Moravians in Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania.
