Carries OR 238 over Applegate River
Design: truss/through/parker
Design Details: The Applegate River Bridge #01985 is significant as an intact example of a pre-WWII steel through truss. It is significant as an embodiment of an obsolete type and method of construction, a Parker through truss with riveted gusset plates, arched portals, laced members, barbell concrete piers, and cantilevered sidewalks. The Parker truss form, a Pratt truss with a polygonal top chord, is the predominant truss type for the remaining through truss bridges in Oregon. (HAER OR-138)
Total Length: 450.2 Feet
Span Length: 180.1 Feet

Overview: Lost Parker through truss bridge over Applegate River on OR 238 in Murphy
History: Built 1935, Replaced 2004
