Powder River Bridge (Private)
Share: 
Description
The private Powder River Bridge located approximately 10 miles southwest of Baker City is an excellent example of a recycled public structure reused on a private roadway.The bridge was originally constructed over the Powder River on Myrtle Street in Baker City located about 10 miles away. The bridge was constructed by the city in 1920 and severed on Myrtle Street until it was replaced by a concrete bridge in 1987. The bridge was more than likely auctioned off and relocated to its current location over the Powder River soon after construction of the new bridge began.
