At , it has been called the shortest covered bridge in the United States. The bridge, one of 17 drivable covered bridges in the county, was designed by John Smolen, former Ashtabula County Engineer and the designer of the Smolen–Gulf Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the U.S., also in Ashtabula County.

The foundation for the bridge was laid in September 2010, with the bridge proper assembled starting the following ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
