description

Summary

Significance: The bridge served vehicular traffic until 1968. It is now bypassed and opened to pedestrian traffic only. The predecessor bridge at this location was a 103' covered span, built in 1904. The existing bridge contains a 105' foot housed Howe truss. Like other designs in Lane County, the bridge includes both ribbon openings at the eaves on both sides and a window at eye level on one side for viewing oncoming traffic. The portals are rectangular-arched. Also, the Lane County characteristic "S-curve brackets" are at the corners of the bridge at the eaves.
