Quines Creek covered bridge 1949

This scene along route 99 shows Oregon’s principal north-south interstate highway before divided highways bypassed or replaced them. Almost any trip through Western Oregon would take you through covered bridges, or on ferries across the larger rivers. There used to be hundreds of covered bridges in Oregon, and now only about fifty remain. This is the Quines Creek Covered Bridge over Cow Creek near Azalea, in Douglas County, Oregon. It exhibits damage over the portal resulting from a high-loaded logging truck. The bridge was built in 1913 and collapsed in 1958. Highway 99 was replaced here by I-5 and the covered bridge location is where the exit ramp feeds Quines Creek Road and crosses Cow Creek. The photographer noted that he took this picture in the mist of dawn before sunrise, August 10, 1949.
