Siuslaw River Bridge, Florence, Lane County, Oregon 1936
This combination steel double-leaf bascule drawspan and reinforced concrete through tied arch structure is an outstanding example of the design work of Oregon's noted State Bridge Engineer, Conde B. McCullough. Decorative treatment abounds with approach pylons, ornate railings, obelisk towers, and other details on the bridge. The Florence bridge was one of five major structures built as part of Oregon's Coast Bridges Project in 1936. Like the other bridges completed on the Oregon Coast Highway in 1936, the Siuslaw River Bridge replaced ferry service across one of Oregon's major rivers. The 140-foot central bascule span is flanked by two 154-foot concrete through tied (or bowstring) arch spans. Twenty concrete girder approach spans contribute to a total structure length of 1,568 feet. The bridge was built by the Mercer-Fraser Company, Eureka.
