| This two-span Howe truss bridge is 228-feet long, the longest covered bridge in Ohio.
It spans the Grand River, which is the primary drainage channel of western Ashtabula County. The
bridge was built in 1868 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the
County Metro Park it is a great place to picnic. A flood in 1913 washed soil away from the north end
of the bridge and changed the river channel. The steel bridge was then attached. A walkway was added
in 1991-92 when the bridge was renovated. |
