The Doyle Road Covered Bridge has also been called the Mullen Bridge. It is 94-feet long and spans Mill Creek, a tributary of the Grand River.
The Doyle Road Covered Bridge was built in 1868 by a carpenter from Vermont who designed it similar to one in his home town. The Bridge is of Town lattice construction and has a long narrow window on both sides.
The Bridge was rehaibilitated in 1988. The portals were restored, roof had new shingles and the exterior received new wooden planks and was painted or stained. Another significant aspect of the remodel is a multi-layered Burr Arch. Each of the two Burr Arches has 24 boards. Each Board is 8" wide and 2" deep. The interior of the Doyle Road Covered Bridge is breath taking! This is one of Ashtabula's prized historic bridges.
