The Newton Falls Covered Bridge, in Newton Falls, Ohio, was built around 1831. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] It is also known as the Arlington Boulevard Covered Bridge.
It spans the east branch of the Mahoning River. It is a three-span truss bridge and has vertical siding.[2]
It is unusual for its pedestrian walkway, which was added in 1921 for children on their way to the school on Center Street. "The Newton Falls bridge is considered the second-oldest existing covered bridge in Ohio, the oldest covered bridge in use on its original site, the only covered bridge in the state with a covered crosswalk, and the last surviving covered bridge in Trumbull County. Built on the Town Lattice truss plan, the bridge is 123 feet long and twenty-four feet wide. It has a clear span of 101 1/2 feet and a sixteen foot-wide roadway. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the structure is maintained by Trumbull County."[3]
It includes a Town lattice truss.[1]
It is located off State Route 534.
The Roberts Covered Bridge, also in Ohio, built in 1829, is older, but has been moved from its original location.
