State Road Bridge is a covered bridge spanning Conneaut Creek in Monroe Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. The bridge, one of currently 16 drivable bridges in the county, is a single span Town truss design. Constructed of 97,000 feet (30,000 m) of southern pine and oak, it features a 4-foot-tall (1.2 m) window which extends the length of the bridge. The dedication of the bridge in 1983 was the forerunner of the Ashtabula County Covered Bridge Festival. The bridge’s WGCB number is 35-04-58, and it is located approximately 3.9 miles (6.3 km) east-southeast of North Kingsville.
State Road Bridge is not to be confused with a covered bridge on another State Road in the county, Smolen-Gulf Bridge.
The original covered bridge was built in 1831, by Ira Benton, and David Niles, for a cost of $100. The bridge stood until 1898.
