“Recently moved to Oregon State's campus”
Irish Bend Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge near Corvallis, Oregon, United States. It was constructed in 1954 and originally spanned the Willamette Slough on Irish Bend Road near Monroe. However, in 1975 Irish Bend Road was realigned and the bridge fell into a state of disrepair. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was eventually dismantled in 1988 to make way for a more modern concrete span. Through negotiations with Benton County and Oregon State University (OSU), an agreement was reached to reconstruct the bridge on university property. $30,000 was raised by the Irish Bend Advisory Committee, and Benton County provided an additional $30,000 to fund the project, which was completed in 1989. Due to the relocation, the bridge was removed from the National Register in 1989.
Nice covered bridge on a bike path. All navigation to the location is messed up. If you want to drive you have to take SW Campus Way off of of NW 35th Street.
Located in Corvallis across Oak Creek on the Campus Way bike path. This historic bridge is open to foot and bicycle traffic only.
