Bigelow Bridge, Covered bridge in Union County, Ohio
The wooden Bigelow Bridge extends 100 feet across Little Darby Creek, featuring traditional weatherboarding and a height of twelve feet.
Built in 1873 by engineer Reuben Partridge, the bridge received internal steel supports during its 1990 renovation to maintain its structural integrity.
The bridge stands as one of six remaining covered bridges in Union County, representing the engineering methods of nineteenth-century transportation infrastructure.
Located on Axe Handle Road north of State Route 161, the bridge connects the communities of Irwin and Chuckery with daily vehicle traffic.
The Ohio Historical Society placed a marker at the site in 2010 to commemorate the bridge and the surrounding Darby Plains region.
