Newton Falls Covered Bridge was built in 1831 and is either 117 feet long (as stated on the website) or 123 feet long (as stated on the sign erected for the bridge).

This is the last surviving covered bridge in Trumbull county Ohio. It also is the only covered bridge in Ohio that has an integrated Walk way. The walk way was attached to the bridge in 1921 so that school children could use it on their way to school. The bridge is still in its original location, and is the second oldest covered bridge in Ohio.

Ohio's DOT has more photos of the bridge, as well as a county map with directions on how to visit the bridge here.

According to the article on the website at www.vindy.com The Trumbull County officials are moving ahead with the rehabilitation of the Covered Bridge, it was started in July 2005, and is costing $1 million dollars to restore. It is 31% complete at the moment. You can read the complete article here.
