Station Road Bridge

Station Road Bridge is a dual-purpose footbridge and road bridge that spans across Brecksville and Sagamore Hills Township. The structure employs a Pratt truss design built entirely from metal, a common engineering approach for bridges constructed during the late 1800s.

The bridge was completed in 1882 by the Massillon Bridge Company, representing an important infrastructure connection between the two townships. This period marked the expansion of transportation networks across rural areas in Ohio.

The bridge takes its name from the nearby railroad station that once served the area. It reflects how rail transportation shaped the development of these communities over time.

Access to the bridge is available from both Brecksville and Sagamore Hills Township sides. Keep in mind this is an active structure that continues to serve local traffic and pedestrian movement.

The bridge retains its original 1882 metalwork and structural design, making it a rare example of engineering that has maintained its technical integrity for over a century. This longevity reflects the quality of craftsmanship from the Massillon Bridge Company and the durability of methods used during that era.
