This Bridge is the longest single-span
Covered Bridge in Ashtabula County. The 156 ft. Howe truss with
arch was built over the Grand River in 1867. The arch is 15 layers
of 2 x 8 lumber encased by large beams which form the X's of the
Howe truss. Mechanicsville Bridge is thought to be the oldest of
Ashtabula County's 16 covered bridges. This bridge was renovated in
2003-2004 and was once again opened to traffic in the spring of
2004. For more information on covered bridges in the area and the
annual October Covered Bridge Festival, visit:
