Caledonia Bowstring Bridge, Historic metal bridge in Caledonia, Ohio, United States.
The Caledonia Bowstring Bridge extends 104 feet across the Olentangy River with tubular arch chords made from Phoenix sections and built-up verticals.
The Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton constructed this bowstring arch bridge in 1873, originally spanning over the Scioto River at a different location.
The bridge represents a significant engineering achievement from the 1870s, featuring innovative construction techniques that combined iron and steel elements.
The structure remains closed to traffic and requires restoration, with local organizations seeking grants to integrate it into a non-motorized pathway system.
This bridge stands as one of only 22 remaining bowstring truss bridges in Ohio, featuring distinctive rod diagonals with upturned ends.
