Gilkey Bridge, Covered bridge near Scio, United States.

Gilkey Bridge is a 120-foot (37 m) covered wooden bridge over Thomas Creek on Goar Road, about 3.5 miles southwest of Scio. Its walls and gabled roof shelter a Howe truss that carries the roadway.

The bridge was built in 1939, replacing an earlier crossing at the former railroad community of Gilkey, a Southern Pacific station established in 1880 and named for Allen and William Gilkey. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as Thomas Creek – Gilkey Covered Bridge. An overloaded vehicle damaged it in 1997, and a truck with an extended hydraulic boom struck the cover in 2006.

The name comes from Gilkey, a Southern Pacific Railway station between Crabtree and Shelburn established in 1880 and named for Allen and William Gilkey; Allen settled nearby in the early 1850s. A covered railroad bridge stood beside the road bridge at the former community, so two covered crossings once shared this stretch of Thomas Creek.

The bridge carries Goar Road over Thomas Creek about 3.5 miles southwest of Scio, so drivers cross it in a single lane inside the wooden cover. After the 2017 rehabilitation it reopened to vehicles, but its load capacity is reduced, so heavy trucks should not attempt the crossing.

The bridge stands at the former community of Gilkey, a Southern Pacific Railway station between Crabtree and Shelburn established in 1880 and named for Allen and William Gilkey; Allen settled nearby in the early 1850s. A covered railroad bridge once stood beside the road bridge here.
