Description
Of course, being that this bridge is in Ohio, the historic metal pony truss was scrapped and replaced. I'm rather surprised they didn't replace it with a fake (over-engineered) Smolen covered bridge.

Aw, cool! It's 2, 2, 2 bridges in 1! So I could walk on the metal bridge to the covered bridge but not through it?
