McColly Covered Bridge
The McColly Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in western Logan County, Ohio, United States. Located in Washington Township near the community of Bloom Center,〔DeLorme. ''Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer''. 7th ed. Yarmouth: DeLorme, 2004, 56. ISBN 0-89933-281-1.〕 it is one of two remaining covered bridges in Logan County.〔(Ohio's Covered Bridges ), Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Structural Engineering. Accessed 2009-09-26.〕 It carries County Road 13 (formerly called the "Covered Bridge Pike"〔"Covered Bridges Etched by Time and Weather". Johnson, James R. ''Springfield News-Sun'', 1979-09-09.〕) over the Great Miami River, approximately south of its source at Indian Lake.〔
The bridge was built in 1876 by the Anderson Green Company of Sidney, Ohio at a cost of $3,103 and named for nearby landowner Nicholas McColly.〔Wood, Miriam F. ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: McColly Covered Bridge''. National Park Service, 1974-07-17.〕 Although Anderson Green built many other bridges statewide, including another bridge in southwestern Logan County, it is the only remaining bridge built by the company in any location.〔Mast, Joel E. "McColly bridge ready for another century: Logan County's 134-year-old structure to reopen soon". ''Bellefontaine Examiner'', 2000-10-12, 1/4.〕 It is approximately long, with a clearance of and a total width of .〔
In 1974, the McColly Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its significance in Ohio's history.〔〔 At that time, it was one of only eighteen remaining Howe truss bridges in Ohio.〔 Although the nomination assessed its condition at "good," by the 1990s, the number of Howe truss bridges nearly fell to seventeen, as the McColly Bridge had deteriorated to the point that an engineering survey in 1996 pronounced it to be in imminent danger of collapse.〔Burgess & Niple Engineers Architects. "Engineering Summary Report". Bellefontaine: Logan County Engineer's Office, June 1997.〕
Restorations in 1943 and 1958 involved replacement of floorboards, strengthening of trusses, and raising the bridge to reduce the danger of flooding.〔 Despite these repairs, the county closed the bridge in July 1993 due to structural deterioration from vandalism and recent floods.〔Bair, Miriam. "Historical landmark restoration approaches: Bids received for McColly covered bridge project". ''Bellefontaine Examiner'', 1999-11-02.〕 The 1996 engineering summary identified several serious faults: the bridge had tilted so that its portals were no longer square, many of the beams had rotted, a collision had damaged the interior, and nearly one-third of the bridge's siding had disappeared.〔 In early 2000, the Amos B. Schwartz Construction Company of Geneva, Indiana was hired to repair the bridge, and it was reopened on November 14, 2000,〔Loehr, Doug. "McColly Covered Bridge reopens with ceremony". ''Bellefontaine Examiner'', 2000-11-15.〕 ten months and over $690,000 after the commencement of repairs. The Ohio Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration provided aid for this project and recognized it as "an outstanding example of preservation, rehabilitation and reuse of a historic bridge."〔Mast, Joel E. "County recognized for preservation effort". ''Bellefontaine Examiner'', 2000-10-14.〕
