It is a 174-foot-long (53 m), three span, burr truss bridge over Shermans Creek, built to replace a previous covered bridge constructed in 1889 by Andrew Clouser.

[2] The original bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

[1] On November 3, 2014, it was significantly damaged in a fire that police later ruled was arson.

[3][4][5] In 2017, work removing the burned and charred remains of the old Dellville Covered Bridge began, and in 2018, the work rebuilding the bridge began in earnest.

By July 2019, the new replica bridge was completed at a cost of $966,000.
