Volunteers converge on the Roddy Road covered bridge over Owens Creek near Thurmont early Saturday to replace the worn ribbed metal roofing with standing seam metal. The historic bridge was built in 1856. A local contractor, Fitzgerald’s Heavy Timber Construction, donated materials and labor to repair the picturesque structure. Roddy Road is one of three covered bridges in Frederick County, and one of just eight statewide.
