| Salt Creek Bridge |
The Salt Creek Bridge, located at milepost 563.2, or 12 miles east of Oakridge on Highway 58, is the longest bridge between Oakridge and Cascade Summit. It is 510 feet long and built on a 1.7 percent grade. At this point, the tracks make a horsehoe curve and head geographically west, back toward Oakridge. This bridge is an American Bridge Company type built in 1924.
This section is made up of three categories. The first consisting of general photos of the bridge, then a section covering the bridge redecking project in 1993, and concluding with the ICC Valuation report for the bridge. Clicking the thumbnails will open the photo in a new window.
