Shimanek Bridge, Covered bridge in Scio, United States.
The Shimanek Bridge spans 130 feet across Thomas Creek, featuring a wooden Howe truss design with protective roofing and side panels.
Built in 1966 as the fifth bridge at this location, the structure replaced its predecessor that succumbed to damage from the Columbus Day Storm of 1962.
The bridge represents a traditional method of American bridge construction, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of mid-20th century builders in Linn County.
Located two miles east of Scio on Richardson Gap Road, the bridge underwent substantial repairs following flood damage in 1996 and structural decay in 2015.
This structure stands as the longest covered bridge in Linn County, Oregon, joining the National Register of Historic Places in February 1987.
