Unity Bridge is a historic covered road bridge over Fall Creek at Unity near Lowell, Oregon. Built by Lane County in 1936 for $4,400, it uses the Howe truss system and replaced an 1890 covered bridge that remained open only to pedestrians until its removal in 1953. The 90-foot bridge carries Lowell–Unity Road and stands upstream from the original site. Its most distinctive feature is a full-length window along the east side, sheltered by a small roof so drivers could see approaching cars. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, it remains both a working rural crossing and a notable survivor of Oregon’s covered-bridge tradition.
