The covered bridge was built in 1871 and originally spanned Middle Creek north of Beaver Springs on Township Route 574. It was moved in 1982 to present location on Township Route 427 in Beaver Springs, spanning a run-off channel that flows into Middle Creek.[2] The bridge was moved when a dam and resulting reservoir were created on the stream originally spanned by the bridge.[3]
