Centennial Covered Bridge

Centennial Covered Bridge in Cottage Grove, Oregon, carries pedestrians and bicyclists over the Coast Fork Willamette River beside Main Street. An 84-foot Howe truss built in 1987 for the city's centennial, it was constructed largely through volunteer labor and from timbers salvaged from the Meadows and Brumbaugh bridges after their dismantling in 1979. Though modern, it links Cottage Grove to Oregon's covered-bridge tradition through both its form and reused materials. Its ongoing service for foot and bicycle traffic gives it both practical value and commemorative significance.
