Firefighters were called about 6 a.m. Tuesday to the bridge in the 300 block of West Wilbeth Road, according to a Summit Metro Parks spokeswoman.
Akron firefighters extinguished the blaze. Arson investigators found an accelerant on the bridge, leading investigators to believe someone intentionally set the fire.
Officials haven't yet determined how much it will cost to replace the bridge. The bridge will remain closed until it's repaired, officials said.
Firefighters and Metro Parks rangers are investigating a link between that fire and another fire early Tuesday on Wilbeth Road.
Someone started a fire in similar fashion, the spokesperson said. That fire was about an hour prior. It was not on Metro Parks property.
Investigators do not have a suspect."
