Lowell Bridge, Covered bridge in Lane County, Oregon, US
The Lowell Bridge extends 165 feet across Dexter Lake, featuring wooden structural elements and a protective gabled roof design throughout its span.
First constructed in 1907 and rebuilt in 1945 after a truck accident, the bridge received National Register of Historic Places status in November 1979.
The bridge stands where Amos Hyland operated a ferry service in 1874 before establishing the town of Lowell, named after his Maine birthplace.
An interpretive center established in 2006 near the bridge provides information about Lane County's covered bridges and regional history.
Engineers raised the entire structure by 6 feet in 1953 to accommodate the anticipated water level rise from the construction of Dexter Dam.
