Crooked River Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge in Jefferson County, Oregon, United States.
The steel arch bridge spans 460 feet across the Crooked River Canyon at a height of 320 feet from the water surface below.
The Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Company completed this railway crossing in 1911 to connect the Columbia River region with the timber resources near Bend.
The Historic American Engineering Record documented this railway bridge as a representation of early 20th-century metal truss bridge construction in the Pacific Northwest.
The bridge remains an active part of the BNSF Railway line, carrying freight trains between the Columbia River and the city of Bend.
Ralph Modjeski, who later designed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, created the engineering plans for this two-hinged steel arch structure.
