Cottage Grove Covered Bridge Tour Route
Tour Route Information:
Distance: 20 miles (32 kilometers).
Best Time: Year ’round. Minimum Driving Time: 1-2 hours.
Medical Services/Hospitals: Cottage Grove.
Rest Areas: Facilities are available in Cottage Grove, the Mosby Creek Bridge area and also at Dorena Bridge.
Dorena Bridge
Constructed in 1949 and restored in 1996, this bridge was built after the construction
of Dorena Dam on the Row River, forming the present day lake. The Dorena
Bridge once tied the roads on the north and south sides of the lake. Now closed to
traffic, the bridge is a popular wedding site.
Stewart Bridge
Constructed in 1930 and restored in 1996, this structure has semi-circular portal
arches, ribbon openings at the eaves, and decorative S-curve brackets. The deep
water below the bridge is considered one of the best swimming holes in the county.
Mosby Creek Bridge
Constructed in 1920 and restored in 1990, this is the oldest bridge in Lane County,
and its one lane remains open to traffic today. The structure has semi-circular portal
arches and ribbon openings near the roof line on each side
Currin Bridge
Constructed in 1925 and restored in 1995, this bridge
features white portals and red sides. Currin Bridge
replaced an earlier covered bridge built in 1883 by a
prominent local bridge builder, Nels Roney.
Chambers Railroad Bridge
This structure was built in 1925 by lumberman J.E.
Chambers to cross the Coast Fork of the Willamette
from his sawmill to the timberlands west of town.
It is the last covered railroad bridge in Oregon. This
bridge is currently closed to traffic and pedestrians,
but history buffs love to take pictures of this treasure.
Centennial Bridge
This bridge was constructed in 1997 by volunteer labor
to celebrate Cottage Grove’s centennial. Materials
came from two Lane County bridges that had been
demolished. It rests on abutments of the old Main
Street Bridge, which stood until the 1950s. The bridge
is only open to pedestrians.
Swinging Bridge
Located a half-mile upstream from Centennial Bridge,
Swinging Bridge was built for foot and bicycle traffic
and was mostly used by children crossing the Coast
Fork to get to school. The present bridge is at least the
fourth built on this site. Earlier versions of the bridge
could be made to swing side to side—hence its name!
