Grave Creek Bridge

This 105-foot wooden bridge features Gothic windows on both sides and rounded portals with a shake roof crossing Grave Creek.

Constructed in 1920, the bridge initially served U.S. Route 99, known as the Pacific Highway, and received National Register recognition in 1979.

The bridge stands as the final covered bridge in Josephine County, representing early 20th-century transportation infrastructure in rural Oregon.

Located 15 miles north of Grants Pass, the bridge carries Sunny Valley Loop Road over Grave Creek and remains visible from Interstate 5.

Engineers A. A. Clausen and J. Elmer Nelson designed this Howe truss bridge, which underwent major repairs in the late 1990s until 2001.
