Cape Creek Bridge

Cape Creek Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that spans across Cape Creek on U.S. Route 101 in the Oregon coast region. The structure features a large parabolic arch as its central element, supporting the roadway above the creek and surrounding terrain below.

This bridge was built in 1932 using advanced concrete construction methods of that era. The design influenced other major bridge projects developed for the Oregon coast highway system in the following years.

The National Register of Historic Places includes this bridge as part of the C. B. McCullough Major Oregon Coast Highway Bridges collection.

The bridge is easily accessible from U.S. Route 101 and provides a straightforward crossing point for travelers along the coast. The roadway is well maintained to ensure safe passage for both vehicles and visitors exploring the area.

The structure resembles ancient Roman aqueducts with its single large arch design, which extends significantly across the bridge's total length. This architectural approach makes it a distinctive example of early 20th-century bridge engineering.
