Inside the Mechanicsville Road Covered Bridge, Ashtabula County Ohio
The second-longest single-span Covered Bridge in Ashtabula County, this 156 ft. Howe truss with the arch was built over 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. Believed to be the oldest of the County’s covered bridges.
The area where this bridge stands was known as “The Great Crossing.” Early French maps of the region marked the river as “deep” at this location. The first mill in the county was built by Ambrose Humphrey in 1801 and stood just south of the bridge.
Thanks for stopping!

21 Aug 2013Wonderful, Mike. I’ve tried to capture the interior of covered bridges many times but have always been disappointed in the results (excepting those painted white, which are easy). This image has given me hope that it is possible and I just need to keep trying.
