The Blackwood Covered Bridge, over the Shade River near Athens, Ohio, was built in 1881. It is a King post truss bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
It is located about 10miles southeast of Athens[1] on Blackwood Road (County Road 46) in southern Lodi Township.
It is a single-span bridge with "vertical, high-boarded siding, a metal roof, projected portals, and cut-stone abutments." It is named for the Blackwood family which owned much of Lodi township.[1]
