Lewis and Clark River Bridge, Bascule bridge in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States.
The Lewis and Clark River Bridge extends 828 feet across the river with a movable span measuring 112 feet and 48 timber pile sections.
Built in 1924 under the direction of engineer Conde McCullough, this bridge replaced an earlier swing-span structure that served the area since 1910.
The bridge represents a tangible connection to the regional exploration heritage through its name, commemorating the Lewis and Clark expedition.
The structure carries U.S. Route 101 Business traffic and functions as a movable span to accommodate water vessels passing underneath.
This bridge stands as Oregon's only remaining single-leaf bascule draw span constructed before World War II.
