  • 9904G.  Construction of then-Rt. 26 on the east side of Mt. Hood, also known as the Wapinitia Pass road, connecting Government Camp to Maupin. Much of this road was later renamed Rt. 216, once Rt. 26 was re-routed to Madras. The giant structure is a rock crusher that operated 24/7 to complete the road before the snow came. Construction of this road began in 1920, and when this photo was taken in October 1929, the road was expected to open to traffic within a month, “weather permitting.”  The Oregonian traded advertising with car dealer Roy Burnett to borrow a new DeSoto Six for the trip, sending out Oregonian transportation editor Larry Barber to both write and photograph the story. Black Tuesday on Wall Street happened two days after the article was published.

  • 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.
