Bridge # 35-40-06 The Johnson Road Covered Bridge is a single-span wooden truss covered bridge spanning the Little Scioto River in an isolated rural section of southwest Jackson County. It is a six-panel Smith truss measuring 70'11" overall and 68'3" clear span. The roadway is approximately 14' wide and the structure is 17'4" wide overall with a 12' overhead clearance. The bridge has vertical siding, a gabled metal roof, projecting portals and a single layer of floor planks laid diagonally. It sets on the original cut stone abutments. The trusses of the bridge are Robert Smith's 1869 patent. The braces are inclined toward the center at a 45 angle and the counter braces inclined towards the abutments at a 60 angle. The center panel is a V formed by two counterbraces. A "rigidly fastened" lateral bracing connects the bottom and top chords of the two trusses.
