Comments:
Although a construction date of 1938 is most commonly used, it is most likely that the Landry bridge was erected in 1932. Maps dated 1932 and 1936 indicate the presence of the bridge. Moreover, according to Gaétan Forest, the bridge construction technique corresponds more closely to that used in the early 1930s. It is therefore highly probable that the covered bridge was already in place when the Landry family settled in this area in 1938.
