Cape Creek was actually my favorite concrete arch bridge. It was under repair during my visit so I wasn't able to get many pics.
And despite being a "Truss Junkie" and really enjoying McCullough Memorial, Yaquina Bay was my overall favorite. I could have spent the whole day there!
Conde B. McCullough at his best! Though Yaquina and Coos Bay might compete...and Rogue River and Caveman...okay, they're ALL really nifty!
I can't believe I drove right by this beauty on I-5 in October of 2020... and missed it!
Yet another good reason to go back to Oregon soon!
This is a beauty!
Stephen, I think it would be awesome if you could add those photos to this site!
I live near this great bridge. Lots to say and I do love McCulloughs bridges all over the state. I have a few copies of pictures when he visited the site and of opening day. Dont know if anyone interested in me emailing these photos.
A great little bridge that's so cool to walk and gaze over at the dam and fish ladder with its low railing. A challenge to bike over with the narrow lane, but there's small enclaves along the side to let others pass.
I am so glad to see that they rehabilitated this bridge. It truly is beautiful and a treasure, albeit a bit scary to drive with the narrow lanes and the curve at the north end of the bridge.
Cape Creek is really unique. That's what I like about McCullough....his spans were never alike, plus being 1920's/30's concrete elegance personified.
And yes, I could probably spend a whole day at Yaquina Bay myself...or at any of the Oregon Coast spans, for that matter! Bit far for me though...maybe someday...
