Olin's Bridge, or Olin Bridge, is a covered bridge that carries Dewey Road over the Ashtabula River in Plymouth Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. The bridge, one of currently 15 drivable bridges in the county, is a single span Town truss design, and is currently the only bridge in the county named for a family. The Olin family has owned property next to the bridge since it was built[1]. Members of the Olin family also operate a small museum and gift shop just east of the bridge at the old family homestead. The bridge’s WGCB number is 35-04-03[2], and it is located at 41°51′45.648″N, 80°43′15.204″W (41.86268, 80.72089)[3] approximately 3.6 mi (5.7 km) east of Ashtabula.
