Harpersfield Covered Bridge

Covered bridge · Ashtabula County, Ohio

Harpersfield Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Ashtabula County, Ohio. Ohio has 147 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 18 of them in Ashtabula County.

It was built in 1868, in the Civil War era, making it the 15th oldest of the 75 in Ohio with a recorded construction date; it crosses Grand River; it is about 228 feet long (3rd longest of 40 measured in Ohio).

Status check, 2026-11: This two-span Howe truss replaced a bridge lost to an ice jam. A steel span was added after the 1913 flood, and the 228 ft figure covers only the wooden covered part. One source (lostbridges) gives 234 ft. The bridge was renovated and reopened in 2024. Harpersfield Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 41.7559° N, 80.9443° W.
