The floor has planks that are twenty inches wide in places. The exterior wood is in excellent condition. The roof is covered with wooden shake shingles. Great covered bridge.

The bridge is 118-feet long and was origially buit in 1892. The bridge is constructed of white pine and has a Wernwag truss. This Wernwag truss is the oly Wernwag left in the United States. Wernwag incorporated a double burr arch in the truss and it encases a version of a kingpost truss. The Wernwag truss has often been recognized as just a kingpost truss with a burr arch but my records indicate that the Wernwag truss is seen here at Governor Bebb Covered Bridge. More information on trusses still in existance in the United States today can be found in a book, Covered Bridges Today by Brenda Kekeler 1989 and in the World Guide to Covered Bridges by The National Society for the Preservation of Covered...
