The S Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge, spanning Salt Fork about 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Old Washington, Ohio. Built in 1828, it is one of the best-preserved surviving bridges built for the westward expansion of the National Road from Wheeling, West Virginia to Columbus, Ohio. S bridges derive their name from the sharply curving approaches to the span. The bridge was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964.[2] The bridge is closed to traffic, and may be seen from Blend Road on the north and Rhinehart Road on the south.
