"The Siuslaw River Bridge is the only one of the five PWA coastal bridges with a bascule span. The bridge is also representative of the innovative designs by State Bridge Engineer Conde B. McCullough, a pioneer in American concrete bridge design. The Siuslaw River Bridge is an early example of McCullough's use of tied arches and Considere-type hinges." [HAER_data]

According to the Oregon Department of Transportation website, a project to repair areas of the bridge is in the design phase, which is expected to cost $575,000....The design phase is expected to happen from 2024 to 2026, with work following in 2027. Funding for the repairs has not been estimated or secured." The controls were updated in 2011. |
