This covered bridge is unique because it is Oregon's only steel bridge housed in wood. The original covered bridge was built in 1920 but was replaced with a modern steel bridge in 1962. The residents felt they had lost part of their history so the structure was modified to include the wooden housing just as the community had before. The bridge span is 100 feet over the South Umpqua River.Located by Canyonville, east of the town of Milo at approximately milepost 20. The bridge is privately owned and maintained by the Seventh Day Adventist but you are welcome to stop and take a look at the bridge. The roads are in excellent shape. Lots of space to safely pull off and park.
