Length - 206'....N. of Oxford, Oxford Township. OH732 N. 0.8 miles from jct with US27 in Oxford, W. on Corso Road 0.3 miles to the bridge. Built by Banden & Butin & Bowman. The bridge was built to give access to a saw and grist mill owned by James B. Pugh on Four Mile (Tallawanda) creek. Originally the bridge was named after him. It was modified in 1869 with the inclusion of a central pier under it for additional support. The trusses were then remodeled by replacing some of the wooden diagonals with iron rods to enable the builders to lower the bridge down onto the pier by backing off the nuts on the ends of the rods, thus eliminating the camber and forming two spans instead of one. Rehabilitated in 2000. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on June 5, 1975. Closed to motor traffic. Truss Type - Combination of both Childs & Long Through Truss.
