The Eldean Covered Bridge in Troy, Ohio, stands as one of the state’s finest examples of 19th-century covered bridge craftsmanship. Built in 1860, this historic structure spans the Great Miami River and remains open to traffic today—a testament to its enduring construction.

The bridge features a Long truss design with wooden siding and a distinctive red exterior. At 224 feet, it ranks among Ohio’s longest covered bridges still in use.

Visiting Tips: The bridge is located just north of Troy off State Route 718. Early morning offers ideal lighting for photography, with mist often rising from the river. A small parking area nearby allows visitors to safely explore and capture this picturesque piece of American history.
