Short Bridge, covered road bridge near Cascadia, Oregon, United States

Short Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in Oregon that crosses a small river and is listed as a protected historic place. The structure features a Howe truss design, a roof of wooden shingles, and measures about 105 feet (32 meters) long, making it a rare example of this construction method.

The Short Bridge was built in 1945 as a 105-foot (32 m) Howe truss span over the South Santiam River, 12 miles (19 km) east of Sweet Home near Cascadia. It is named for Gordon Short, a long-time area resident, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The bridge is named for Gordon Short, a long-time resident of the area around Cascadia. It carries that name today on the National Register of Historic Places listing, which records the structure under his name rather than a local landmark or creek.

The bridge stands on a rural road about 12 miles (19 km) east of Sweet Home, near Cascadia. Approach it by car along US-20, then turn onto the local road at the Cascadia turnoff. The deck is a single narrow lane, so drivers should check for oncoming traffic before crossing.

The bridge is recorded in the Historic American Engineering Record as survey OR-120, with nine photographs, one data page and one photo caption page. That documentation set is held with the record of Oregon's engineered structures, so the drawings and images can be consulted without visiting the site.
