Lowell Covered Bridge
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 10 April 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Built in 1945, this 165 foot (50.3 meter) bridge of the Howe truss type spans the Middle Fork of the Willamette River in Lane County, Oregon, USA. It no longer carries vehicular traffic. Rather, it now serves as an interpretive center.
Part of the Covered Bridges of Oregon series.

Wow! That is one, neat and beautiful bridge! Superbly framed and spot on exposure, Steve! The clouds are superb too!

Beautiful one, and it's curious that it's used as an interpretative center.
Are we going to see one more image, closer?
Thanks for posting it.

A beautiful shot! Ilove all the water in the foreground- It really emphasizes the bridge. I never realized there are so many covered bridges in Oregon-I thought it was just an Eastern kind of thing :)

She's a low, lean beauty. Great composition Steve. How great that she's being used as an interpretive centre. I'm going to let my husband know about that -- I think he'd love to visit there next time he's down that way.

One of the more elegant looking bridges, and good to see that it has been put to good use. I like the lake and hillside surrounding this area.

This is a beautiful bridge. I'm glad they have found some use for the structure which will likely keep
it restored and in good shape for years to come. Nice shot.

I wish to be on that bridge and just sit there for hours and just enjoy that beauty of nature and do nothing else. I can feel the calmness of the place from here.
