About Hizey Covered Bridge

The Hizey Covered Bridge is an 83-foot structure built by J.W. Buchanan in 1891. Originally spanning Poplar Creek east of Pickerington on State Route 235, it has been relocated to form part of a private driveway.

History of Hizey Covered Bridge

Built in 1891 by J.W. Buchanan, one of Fairfield County's most prolific covered bridge builders, the Hizey Bridge served Poplar Creek Road for many decades. When it was no longer needed for public traffic, it was moved to private property where it continues to serve as a unique driveway entrance, preserving this piece of county history.

Architecture and Design

At 83 feet long, the bridge features construction typical of J.W. Buchanan's work in the county. The design has been maintained through its relocation, preserving the original character of this late 19th-century structure.
