Old Youngs Bay Bridge

The Old Youngs Bay Bridge extends 1,766 feet across Youngs Bay with two 75-foot steel bascule leaves and timber spans connecting the mainland to Youngs River Peninsula.

Conde McCullough designed this bridge as his first Oregon project in 1921, marking the beginning of his influence on the state's infrastructure development.

The bridge features Art Moderne concrete pylons with light fixtures, representing the engineering and architectural standards of the early twentieth century.

This structure accommodates approximately 8,600 vehicles daily as part of US 101 Bus, serving as a vital connection within Clatsop County.

The bridge combines steel bascule mechanisms with timber spans, demonstrating the transition between traditional and modern construction methods of the 1920s.
