Caine Road Covered Bridge

Caine Road Covered Bridge is a wooden structure spanning the West Branch of the Ashtabula River using a single-span Pratt truss frame. The bridge remains passable for vehicle traffic with a clearance height of about 13 feet 5 inches.

Built in 1986 by John Smolen Jr., the bridge was created as part of Ashtabula County's 175th anniversary celebration. It was named to honor the Caine family, early settlers in the Pierpont area.

The bridge is one of about 19 covered spans in Ashtabula County, showing how this region keeps traditional wooden bridge construction alive. You can see how these structures remain active and useful in the local landscape today.

The bridge is located roughly 13 miles east-northeast of Jefferson and is open to vehicle traffic. Plan your visit with the rural setting and road conditions in mind.

This bridge was assigned the official designation WGCB 35-04-61 and is among the newest additions to Ohio's collection of over 125 wooden covered bridges. It demonstrates that traditional bridge building techniques are still being applied in recent years.
