I was Looking in one of my books and saw a picture of this bridge. In it the picture was taken before the dam was completed. and apparently the section removed according to the Photo was a arch span making this bridge a arch bridge. But now that the arch span is removed how would I list it?
According to the Street view, this bridge has been replaced.
It appeared in several old maps i have seen particularity in the book Historical Atlas of Washington and Oregon but I have not seen any photographs.
I have A Images Of America book on Reedsport I cant find it right now but I do recall seeing a picture of a trestle near Winchester Bay but I cant remember the company.
Some times they did and sometimes they did not it all depends on the map.

Well that is nice to know that is one of my favorite bridges in the Wenatchee valley I am glad the trusses will be preserved instead of going the the scrap yard.
Well Lawmakers are back talking about replacement it would be bad to see this bridge replaced by a UCEB.

I meant to put timber string but I accidentally put steel stringer and didn't check the page before I published it.
Both bridges were build in the same and by reading your comment and comparing the image to google street view imagery, I have found out that this is the actual location
of the two bridges not under Phillips Reservoir like I thought originally thought. Thank you for correcting the location.
This bridge will be dismantled next week hopefully it will be relocated and preserved instead being thrown in the scrap bin.
