Falls Mill Bridge

The previous bridge at this location was a 250-foot-long steel Pennsylvania truss, originally built in 1914 by the Pennsylvania Bridge Company in Hamilton County. In 1956 it was moved here for reuse to carry State Route 664 over the Hocking River, and it remained in use until 2006, when a new bridge replaced it. Pennsylvania trusses were developed for railroad use in the 1870s and featured a polygonal top chord. Falls Mill Bridge was considered historic as a rare and unique example of a highway bridge type in Ohio. Its name came from the adjacent mill that once stood at the lower falls until the 1930s, a mill built around 1815 by Logan founder and former Ohio Governor Thomas Worthington.
