Vance Creek Bridge, Railway bridge in Mason County, United States.

Vance Creek Bridge is a steel arch railway bridge in the Satsop Hills, 347 feet (106 m) above Vance Creek. Its pale yellow-green truss forms a single wide arch with a curved top chord of crisscrossing beams, vertical and diagonal supports, and a lower deck line. It was built for the Simpson Logging Company in 1929.

The Simpson Logging Company built the bridge in 1929 for its logging railroad in the Satsop Hills. It was decommissioned in the 1970s as logging declined on the Olympic Peninsula. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and on the Mason County Historic Preservation Register in 2008.

The bridge drew photographers and thrill-seekers in the early 2010s, though it was never open to the public. Graffiti and arson appeared at the site, and in 2014 owner Green Diamond Resource Company added barriers and surveillance to stop trespassing.

Public access to the structure is not permitted due to safety restrictions and security measures. Visitors can view and photograph the bridge from a distance while respecting closed areas.

The bridge was never open to the public, yet in the early 2010s photographers and thrill-seekers made it an attraction; graffiti and arson followed. In 2014 owner Green Diamond Resource Company added barriers and surveillance, and in 2016 the approach span's wooden deck and railroad ties were removed.
