CEDAR CROSSING

Just when you think covered bridges are only from the distant past, we found one that was more recently constructed. The Cedar Crossing bridge was built to replace an older, deteriorating wood truss bridge in 1981. The interior is finished with knotty pine. The bridge features a narrow walkway for pedestrians and bicyclists as well as two lane vehicular traffic.

The Cedar Creek bridge is located in Portland, Oregon on Deardorf Rd over Johnson Creek. The road to it is paved and in good condition. There is a graveled area to pull off and park on the east side. The only challenge to accessing the pull off area is a cement curb although there is a driveway built in to it on the far side. The graveled surface was well packed and smooth. Word of caution though - the traffic scoots along at a pretty good pace there so if you are going to stop to look, you'll want to get off the pavement without delay.
