That's an interesting structure behind you. Is it a toll Bridge?

Welcome to cc.

That's an interesting structure behind you. Is it a toll Bridge?

It is an old, wooden covered bridge in Sunderland, Vermont (USA). Built in the 1800s. There are a number of these bridges in Vermont. Here is some info on the bridge that I found online...
The 117 foot Chiselville Bridge was built across the Roaring Branch Brook at a cost of $2,307.31. Located high above the water, Chiselville Bridge, once know as High Bridge, survived the flood of 1927. Many other Vermont covered bridges were not as fortunate.
The most intriguing thing about the Chiselville Bridge is the sign, which warns motorists that there is a one dollar fine for
driving across the bridge at a speed faster than a walk. Besides saving a dollar, there’s another good reason to drive slowly if you’re touring Vermont’s covered bridges with someone you love. Covered bridges were once known as “kissing bridges” because they provided a moment of privacy during the days of horse and buggy courtships.

That's very interesting. Thanks for the information.
