Bell Covered Bridge

The Bell Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. The bridge is a covered multiple kingpost through-truss design^[2] crossing over Falls Creek (Southwest Fork of Wolf Creek) in Washington County. Built in 1888 by Ebenezer B. Henderson, the bridge was originally used for horse-powered transportation and was later modified to allow motorized vehicles to cross the creek. The bridge is still in use today. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1998^[3] , and later closed in August 2005 for repair of termite damage, but was reopened to traffic shortly thereafter . Except for the periods of rehabilitation and repair, the bridge has continuously remained open to traffic since it was built.^[4] The floor, sides, and trusses of the bridge are constructed of wood and the roof is made of tin. The bridge also features sandstone abutments.^[5]
