East Engle Mill Bridge, Caesar Creek, Greene County, OH Built 1877 Collapsed Winter of 1978
Todd Clark Collection

Comments:
14-panel truss. In 1977 the bridge floor was broken when a well drilling rig passed through it, causing one end to collapse. The remainder of the bridge collapsed under the weight of snow that winter (1978).
