Comments:
Closed to vehicular traffic. 8-panel truss. In 1849, the government of Guernsey County commissioned Abraham Armstrong to construct a covered bridge spanning Salt Creek near the town of Clio, northeast of Cambridge in Jefferson Township. To preserve the bridge once the Salt Fork State Park project was announced, the bridge was relocated to the Cambridge City Park during 1966-1967.
