Cavitt Creek Covered Bridge
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 18 July 2009 in Architecture.
Built in 1943, this 70 foot (21.3 meter) bridge of the Howe truss type spans the Little River in Douglas County, Oregon, USA. It has a 3 ton (2.7 metric ton) load limit. It is currently closed for repairs. Note the interesting shape of the portals which probably indicates they were modified to allow larger loads.
Part of the Covered Bridges of Oregon series.

Very good b/w image of this bridge, and good to see the details of the situation on the water. You are right about the portals.

I like this bridge view that lets us see the under pinnings along with the interesting bridge. While artistic looking the bridge opening with its low sides has obviously caused a few problems. Excellent image.

Awesome composition! I like the signage on the bridge. If you had a tall or wide thing, there would always be some kind of question you could make it through there...

a fantastic b&w image that also shows part of the interior as well as the supports. Yes, very interesting opening.
