Root Road Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Ashtabula County, United States
The Root Road Covered Bridge spans 107 feet across the west branch of the Ashtabula River, featuring a Town lattice truss design with wooden construction.
Built in 1868, this bridge underwent substantial renovation in 1982, when workers raised the structure by 18 inches and added a concrete center pier for support.
The bridge stands as one of 19 covered bridges in Ashtabula County, representing the engineering methods and construction techniques of 19th-century American infrastructure.
Located 6.3 miles southeast of North Kingsville, the bridge maintains an overhead clearance of 9 feet 4 inches and accommodates vehicle traffic.
The structure bears the name of Herbert Root, whose connection to local road construction influenced the development of transportation routes in the region.
