Covered structures bridge past, present
Oregon’s covered bridges serve purpose while telling story
Covered bridges – though more associated with the Northeast – are as much a part of our Western heritage as ghost towns, steam locomotives and mines. They were built at a time when the West had abundant wood and no steel or concrete that could be used to construct bridges across rivers. And, if the wood bridge was covered with a roof, it would last at least three times longer. In Oregon, about 50 of the structures still exist.
