Rocky Creek Bridge

Rocky Creek Bridge is a concrete arch bridge with neoclassical design elements that crosses Rocky Creek. The structure features decorative railings and carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Construction began in 1926 under engineer Conde B. McCullough and was completed in 1927. The structure gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

The bridge shows how Oregon engineers combined concrete construction with classical design details in the early 20th century. It sits along the Otter Crest Loop Road, a scenic route where drivers and walkers experience the coastal landscape together.

The bridge sits along Otter Crest Loop Road and offers views of the Pacific Ocean coast. Visitors should plan to come during clear weather for the best coastal views.

The bridge carries an alternate name, Ben Jones Bridge, honoring a legislator involved in establishing Lincoln County during an earlier era. This secondary name is often unknown to passing visitors despite its connection to local leadership history.
