The Germantown Covered Bridge, in Germantown, Ohio, was built in 1870, restored in 1963,[2] and moved from its original location over Little Creek on the Dayton Pike to its present location on East Center St. in 1911. The design was an inverted bowstring.[3]

The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1] However, it was delisted from the National Register after being destroyed by a vehicle in 1981. Pieces of the bridge were used in the subsequent reconstruction; it was then designated for use by pedestrians only.[4] [5]

It was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1992.
