Benetka Road Covered Bridge combines the arch with town lattice for support.
It crosses the Ashtabula River in Sheffield Twp and was built sometime in the 1890s.
It is still in service.

Giddings Road Covered Bridge |
I think this is the only red painted bridge we saw here.
Note the cute little cupola on top. It is on Netcher Road.

This cross hatch style for support structure is called "town lattice"
and is used on several of the bridges we saw. Here on South Denmark Bridge.
