Bridge # 35-04-65 The West Liberty Covered Bridge has been called the shortest covered bridge in the United States. The bridge, one of 17 drivable covered bridges in the county, was designed by John Smolen, former Ashtabula County Engineer and the designer of the Smolen–Gulf Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the U.S., also in Ashtabula County.
Bridge # 35-04-P The shortest covered bridge in the United States spans only 18 feet, crossing Cowles Creek in Geneva, Ohio. Its design is one of a kind. The structure is supported by a single Kingpost and its roof is a Scissor Truss which gives the bridge a lighter, open feeling. The roof has a more pronounced slope than a typical timber covered bridge.
