The State Road Bridge was erected in 1983 across Conneaut Creek. The 152-foot Town lattice span was the first covered bridge designed and built by County Engineer John Smolen, Jr.
The bridge, one of currently 16 drivable bridges in the county, is a single span Town truss design. Constructed of 97,000 feet (30,000 m) of southern pine and oak, it features a four-foot tall window which extends the length of the bridge. The dedication of the bridge in 1983 was the forerunner of the Ashtabula County Covered Bridge Festival
