Grave Creek Bridge is a historic covered bridge in southern Oregon that carries Sunny Valley Loop Road over Grave Creek about 15 miles north of Grants Pass. Built in 1920 for U.S. Route 99, the Pacific Highway, it is the only covered bridge remaining in Josephine County and a notable survivor from the era when covered bridges served major regional roads. Designed by A. A. Clausen and J. Elmer Nelson, the 105-foot Howe truss bridge is distinguished by six Gothic windows on each side, rounded portals, and a shake roof. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, it reopened in 2001 after late-1990s repairs.
