Shaeffer Campbell Covered Bridge, Covered road bridge in St. Clairsville, United States.
The Shaeffer Campbell Covered Bridge stretches 68 feet across College Pond on the Ohio University Eastern Campus with wooden slat-pressured trusses extending into the water.
Built in 1875 by James W. Buchanan in Fairfield County, the bridge was relocated to Belmont County in 1975 after sustaining damage at its original Clear Creek location.
The bridge incorporates design elements from Mark Twain's home in its railings, connecting the structure to American literary heritage through architectural details.
Located within 1000 feet of Interstate 70, this pedestrian-only bridge now serves the local community and hosts high school cross-country events throughout the year.
The bridge features specialized front supports that angle outward, allowing the roof to extend beyond the sides for enhanced water drainage through carefully positioned shingles.
