Weddle Bridge, Covered bridge in Sweet Home, Oregon, United States

Weddle Bridge is a covered wooden bridge crossing Ames Creek in Sankey Park near Sweet Home. The structure features exposed wooden trusses and large side openings with white board-and-batten siding.

The bridge originally spanned Thomas Creek near Scio and was replaced by a concrete bridge in 1980. Scheduled for demolition in 1987, it was saved after local activists protested and enlisted former Oregon Senator Mae Yih; the state then created the Oregon Covered Bridge Program, whose first grant went to this bridge. In 1989 the Cascade Forest Resource Center rebuilt it across Ames Creek in Sankey Park.

The bridge is named for a farmer who lived near the original Thomas Creek crossing; it was also called the Devaney Bridge after another early resident. Today it hosts public events such as breast-cancer detection fundraisers and private weddings.

The bridge stands in Sankey Park in Sweet Home, reached on foot from the park paths. It was closed in 2005 after an engineering inspection found repairs were needed; the work was paid for with proceeds from the Oregon Jamboree country music festival and donations of cash or building materials from businesses and individuals.

The Weddle Bridge has a Howe truss, segmented portal arches, large side openings and white board-and-batten siding, a combination shared with other covered bridges along Thomas Creek. It was named for a farmer who lived nearby and was also known as the Devaney Bridge for another early resident.
