AKRON, Ohio — A 58-foot-long bridge that disappeared in Akron, Ohio, has been found, and the person who police say took it will face theft charges.
The bridge, as previously reported, once crossed a river in a park, but was taken down years ago as part of a wetland restoration project. It was being stored on park property with plans for it to be repurposed for use at a women’s shelter.
Police in Akron announced the bridge had been found in a Facebook post, saying several tips had led them to a suspect.

UPDATE: During the ongoing criminal investigation into the stolen 58 foot bridge, investigators received several tips...
