Water Canyon Road Bridge

Wallowa County, Oregon

Map 

Street View 

Description 

Hard to tell the design, due to somewhat poor street view, but it appears to be some sort of shallow Kingpost deck truss. Site visit needed to confirm. Very little information, as bridge is on a private road and not in the NBI.

Possibly it is a beam bridge with prestressing tendons on the underside of the beams.

Daniel, I am not sure this particular bridge is truly a kingpost, but it is possible for a kingpost style truss to be configured as a deck truss. Scroll down on my page and view approach span for this bridge: https://historicbridges.org/bridges/browser/?bridgebrowser=t...

I don't recall having heard anything else with the post going down referred to as a kingpost
