Comments:
Closed to vehicular traffic. 6-panel truss. After being damaged by vehicles the bridge was considered unsafe and closed. When funds were secured to replace the structure with a new steel bridge, the covered bridge was moved about 400 feet the Jackson County Historical Society property in May 2011. Dingey Movers of Zanesville moved the bridge.
