Hannah Bridge, covered bridge in Linn County in the U.S. state of Oregon
Hannah Bridge is a 105-foot covered wooden bridge on Burmester Creek Road, crossing Thomas Creek about 1.5 miles from Jordan in Linn County. It is one of three remaining covered bridges along Thomas Creek, alongside the Shimanek and Gilkey bridges.
The bridge was constructed in 1936 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, securing its status as a historic monument. It stands as evidence of early Oregon transportation infrastructure and settlement activities in the region during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The bridge is named for John Joseph Hannah, a pioneer who reached Oregon in 1853 and claimed 151 acres between Thomas Creek and Bilyeu Creek. He built one of the first sawmills in the area, and the bridge keeps his name on Burmester Creek Road.
Hannah Bridge carries Burmester Creek Road across Thomas Creek about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Jordan, and traffic crosses it in a single lane. It is one of three remaining covered bridges on Thomas Creek, together with the Shimanek and Gilkey bridges.
