The Dey Road Bridge is a historic truss bridge that spans the Tiffin River near the city of Defiance, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1900s, it has been designated a historic site.

In 1835, an early toll bridge across the Tiffin was built at the nearby community of Brunersburg, but it was soon destroyed by a flood.[1] The current bridge is a Pratt through truss bridge that was manufactured by the Massillon Bridge Company and built in 1906.[2] Built on concrete supports,[3] it is constructed primarily of iron. In 1907, it became a local landmark for surveying purposes when a USGS surveyor placed a benchmark on its northwestern abutment.[4]

In 1999, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant engineering. By that time, the bridge was vacant and not in use.[2] Now known as the "Old Dey Bridge", the bridge is closed to road traffic, although pedestrians are still permitted to use it.[5] The bridge is one of several locations included as points of interest on a proposed Defiance city strategic plan.[6]
