Gilkey Bridge, Covered bridge near Scio, United States.
The Gilkey Bridge stretches 120 feet across Thomas Creek, featuring a Howe truss design with wooden walls and a gabled roof covering.
Built in 1939 through the Works Progress Administration program, the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
The structure represents a connection to early Oregon settlers Allen and William Gilkey, who established the nearby railroad station community in 1880.
The bridge carries Goar Road traffic and provides access to swimming, fishing, and rock collecting activities along Thomas Creek throughout summer months.
The location previously featured two parallel covered bridges, with a railroad crossing that maintained its wooden cover until 1960.
