Deadwood Covered Bridge
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 4 May 2009 in Architecture.
Built in 1932, this 105 foot (32 meter) bridge of the Howe truss type spans Deadwood Creek in Lane County, Oregon, USA. It has a 10 ton (9.1 metric ton) load limit.
Part of the Covered Bridges of Oregon series.

What an interesting name for a bridge! The side rails looks too good to be dead.

This white one is radiant, but the name is not very reassuring... :-)

A fine looking covered bridge. I like how they built the access platform leading to it. Nice image.

Looking at the wood it's amazing to know that this bridge can take up so much load. Amazing work of architecture.

Your bridge photos have taught me something; I had no idea Oregon had so many covered bridges. These things are fascinating to see and fun to cross over on.
