Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge

In the second half of the 1980's, it became clear that the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge would need substantial repairs if it was to continue in service for vehicular traffic. Many in state government wanted to close the bridge and build something upriver. Representative Merle Schotanus of Sullivan District 1 rejected that idea and fought for funding to completely restore the bridge. Through his determined efforts, he ensured that the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge would continue to carry traffic for decades to come.
