Center Road Bridge
The pictures of the wrong bridge that were formerly here seem to have been removed, which was good. I have now uploaded new pictures of the correct bridge, which I had the privilege of visiting recently. It's a gorgeous concrete rainbow arch, in excellent condition, open to traffic.

Janis,
Actually the bridge listed here still exists. Your photos are of an unknown, different bridge. We at HistoricBridges.org documented the bridge in August 2007 and it was rehabbed. http://www.historicbridges.org/ohio/centerrdashtabula/index....

Roger... thanks for the update... its funny how time flies, I have visited the bridge but it was back in 2007, which was eight years ago. Nice to see and hear that its still faring well... its one of the largest and best of this type in the region.
