Precht Bridge
| Abandoned Road Over Turkeyfoot Creek | Rural: Henry County, Ohio | Metal Pin-Connected Pratt Through Truss, Fixed | 0 By: Massillon Bridge Company of Massillon, Ohio |
Thanks To Rick McOmber For Visiting And Photographing This Historic Bridge
This six panel through truss bridge stylistically appears to be the work of Massillon Bridge Company. The name for the bridge comes from a relatively new plaque on the bridge commemorating William Precht who died at this bridge in a tractor accident. The bridge is located within a state park and although the bridge is not restored and on an undeveloped trail, it remains open for pedestrian and horse traffic.
