Description: This charming bridge holds the distinction of being the smallest covered bridge in Union County. It underwent rehabilitation efforts in both 2008 and 2016, addressing damages caused by heavy machinery that impacted the overhead braces. Notably, it features a unique "bridge-within-a-bridge" concept, where the covered outer structure provides protection and support while the inner bridge bears the weight of traffic. Spain Creek, where the bridge spans, holds special significance as it has received designations from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency as an Exceptional Warm Water Habitat and Cold Water Habitat. Here are some key statistics about this historic bridge: Length: 64 feet Built: In the 1870s Builder: Constructed by Partridge Span: Crosses over Spain Creek Historical Marker: A marker commemorates its historical significance. This picturesque covered bridge is a testament to Union County's heritage and its harmonious coexistence with the natural environment.
