View Historical Articles About This Bridge

This bridge is an impressive steel arch bridge. It retains original decorative concrete railings and decorative pylons at the ends of the bridge. Although trees today somewhat obscure them, a journey underneath the bridge will reveal impressive curved t-beam approach spans supported by ornate concrete piers. The bridge was designed by the Oregon State Highway Commission under the direction of noted engineer Conde McCullough, who placed emphasis on designing bridges with substantial aesthetic details.
