Brown Road Bridge over Bokes Creek (Scioto Township) built in 1915 is 125 feet in span and 19.3 feet wide. It is one of five remaining examples in Ohio that was built by the Bellefontaine Bridge & Steel Co. And it is one of the eight oldest surviving examples in the state of Pratt riveted through trusses. The bridge's 2009 inspection report rated the truss and deck both at a 5 and in good condition.
