Harpersfield Covered Bridge
Harpersfield Bridge is a covered bridge spanning the Grand River in Harpersfield Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. * Currently disassembled for renovation 2023 * This double-span Howe truss bridge, one of currently 17 drivable covered bridges in the county, is the third longest covered bridge in Ohio at 228 feet. A flood in 1913 washed away the land at the north end of the bridge, and the steel span was subsequently attached. The bridge features a walkway, added during its renovation in 1991–1992. The bridge also features an Ashtabula County MetroPark at its north end and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge's WGCB number is 35-04-19, and it is located approximately 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometres) south of Geneva.
