Thomas Creek Bridge, Deck truss bridge in Curry County, Oregon
Thomas Creek Bridge spans across a deep valley with three sections, reaching a total length of 956 feet along the Pacific coastal route 101.
Engineer Ivan D. Merchant designed and completed the bridge construction in 1961, incorporating a Warren deck truss system into its architectural structure.
The bridge serves as a central point within Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor, connecting communities and enabling exploration of Oregon's coastal landscapes.
Visitors can access parking areas at both ends of the bridge, with trails leading to viewing points on the southern side of the structure.
Standing at 345 feet above the creek bed, this engineering structure holds the title of the highest bridge in the state of Oregon.
