The Ohio Electric Interurban Bridge is a historic interurban railway reinforced concrete multiple arch bridge built in 1908 to span the Maumee River joining Lucas and Wood counties near Waterville, Ohio. The span which is 1221 feet long, was once the world's largest earth-filled reinforced concrete bridge. One of the bridge supports rests on the Roche de Boeuf, a historic Indian council rock, which was partially destroyed by the bridge's construction. The bridge, which is no longer in use, is a popular subject for photographers and painters. The bridge which is crumbling, will most likely be demolished before 2024.
