That doesn't include Harpersfield, which is an historic bridge reconstructed in 2024.
The first new, historic bridge is likely the Caine Bridge, built in 1986 to celebrate Ashtabula County's 175th anniversary.
The Caine catches your attention from more than a mile up the road when the sun glints off the front of the bridge and bright yellow sign urging traffic to slow and be careful for the clearance to cross.

Another thing the Caine Bridge has in common with other recently built covered bridges is that it was also designed by John Smolen.
