Henline Creek Bridge

Posted October 22, 2020, by Mike Goff (michael [dot] goff [at] hotmail [dot] com)

We found out today that the Henline Creek Bridge was lost in the Beachie Creek Fire on Labor Day. The bridge was owned by the U.S. Forest Service.

While not an overly notable bridge, it certainly was a great example of timber bridge construction used in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
