Harpersfield Covered Bridge UPDATE! - Ashtabula, Ohio

I took another trip over to Harpersfield in Ashtabula County Ohio to check on the progress of the Covered Bridge that is being refurbished/replaced there and didn't see much progress since September, the last time I was there..
September's Video I filmed here: • Remembering Harpersfie...
I filmed there in September and didn't see much difference so I walked around to different areas and filmed some footage of other areas of the park.. I will be back sometime in December to check the progress again and see if they actually get this done by the end of the year like it was said to be done by..
More about the park and bridge:
Harpersfield Bridge is a covered bridge spanning the Grand River in Harpersfield Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. This double-span Howe truss bridge, one of currently 16 drivable covered bridges in the county, is the third longest covered bridge in Ohio at 228 feet. A flood in 1913 washed away the land at the north end of the bridge, and the steel span was subsequently attached. The bridge features a walkway, added during its renovation in 1991-92. The bridge also features an Ashtabula County MetroPark at its north end, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge’s WGCB number is 35-04-19, and it is located approximately 3.4 mi (5.4 km) south of Geneva.
1868 - Bridge constructed.
1913 - Steel span added.
1962 - Bypassed when State Route 534 was rerouted around the settlement of Harpersfield.
1991-92 - Bridge renovated.
2023 - Renovation/Replacement
History
This 53 acre park adjacent to the historic Harpersfield Covered Bridge, spanning the Grand River (an Ohio designated Wild and Scenic River), is the first and oldest in the park system. The property for the park was purchased in early 1961 from the Western Reserve Properties, representing Fred and Beverly Traub. The park was dedicated by the park board on June 11, 1961 when a flag pole was erected at the park. In the early 1990’s, a donation by the Ohio Water Service (OWS) of land and buildings adjacent to the original park has brought the park to its present size. The value of the property allowed the park board to secure a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant to construct a new pavilion and restroom, in addition to replacement of park water lines and installation of new water fountains.The Harpersfield Covered Bridge Metropark has an activity field, woodlands, covered pavilions with picnic tables, and a popular bait and gift shop. The patrons now enjoy birding, field games, fishing, kayaking and canoeing, wading, photography, picnicking, and the numerous popular events hosted by the Friends of the Harpersfield Metropark.

Pretty cool Chris. I look forward to seeing the next time you update. Thanks for sharing!

[@AdventureAwaits83]

We will see what it looks like by the end of the year. I can’t see them getting done by then but who knows? Thanks for watching Brian. Nice day out though….

[@viviandrennan4943]

Wow. Just like road construction. Standing around doing very little and a good weather day to get something do. Sad. Looking forward to an update inDec

[@AdventureAwaits83]

Yes, I thought they would be a lot further along Viv but nope.. we will see in December if the weather is nice enough.. I will be shocked if it’s done by the end of the year.

Yep taking their time that’s for sure. Not sure why but maybe the concrete has to cure or something who knows, the little waterfall looks like a lot of slate. There couldn’t really tell😮

[@AdventureAwaits83]

I don’t know what the hold up is but it’s like snails working.. I’m no expert in construction though.. That is most likely slate by the waterfalls because the riverbed is mostly slate as well and Northeast Ohio is known for a lot of slate, clay and of course sand… thanks for watching and commenting..
