Depoe Bay (Depoe Bay)
Descend the stairway on the bayside to really appreciate McCullough’s details. The original bridge was built in 1927; in 1940 an identical bridge was built to accommodate increased traffic.
Yaquina Bay (Newport)
Newport’s classic bridge stretches 3223 feet with a soaring steel through-arch, flanked by steel deck arches and five concrete deck arches to the south. Grand stairways on each end lead to bridge observation areas.
Cape Creek (Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint)
The repeating arches, columns and a viaduct of this impressive span are reminiscent of Roman aqueducts.
Siuslaw River (Florence)
Florence’s working drawbridge features four Art Deco-style operator houses and gothic arches best viewed from river level.
McCullough Memorial Bridge (Coos Bay)
When it was built, this mile-long span was the longest bridge in the Oregon highway system. About 250 men were employed to work on the bridge, moving more than 24,000 cubic yards of soil, 48,000 cubic yards of concrete, nearly 12 million pounds of steel and 5-million board feet of lumber. The result is a graceful structure with 13 stunning arches.
Rogue River (Gold Beach)
With seven open-spandrel concrete deck arches over the Rogue River, this was the first structure in the United States to use the Freyssinet method of arch ring decentering; it is also a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
