The Germantown Covered Bridge, in Germantown, Ohio, was built in 1870, restored in 1963,^[2] and moved from its original location over Little Creek on the Dayton Pike to its present location on East Center St. in 1911. The design was an inverted bowstring.^[3]

The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.^[1] However, it was delisted from the National Register after being destroyed by a vehicle in 1981. Pieces of the bridge were used in the subsequent reconstruction; it was then designated for use by pedestrians only.^{[4] [5]}
