Built in 1921, the bridge carried Oregon Route 42 over the creek until bypassed by a newer bridge in 1949. [4] In 1984, after restoration by volunteers from the Lions Club of Myrtle Point, the structure became a display in a county park at the same site. [2] It is the only remaining covered bridge in Coos County. [4]
Special features of the bridge include large side openings and a truss made of two crossed Howe truss members on each chord. [4] The bridge is 60 feet (18 m) long. [4] It was added the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. [1]
