Covered Bridge Should Be Saved by Oxford Group
A local movement near Oxford objects to abandoning the old covered bridge on Ohio 723 north of the town. Advocates argue the bridge, sturdy after 50 years, could serve as an ideal approach to Hueston Woods State Park, while plans would relocate the road and eliminate dangerous curves. The bridge spans Four Mile Creek and remains wide enough for two lanes, with flood waters washing over approaches but the deck staying above the crest.
