The Drift Creek Bridge is a covered bridge in Lincoln County in the U.S. state of Oregon. Built in 1914, the structure originally carried Drift Creek County Road over Drift Creek.[1] The creek flows into Siletz Bay of the Pacific Ocean south of Lincoln City.[2]

The original bridge, about Шаблон:Convert from the ocean, once carried the main north–south route along the coast. Newer bridges later carried most of the north–south traffic and, after a concrete bridge bypassed the Drift Creek Bridge in the 1960s, Lincoln County preserved it as a pedestrian crossing and a monument to 19th-century pioneers. In 1988, however, county officials closed the bridge entirely after rot and insect damage made the structure unsafe.[3]

The county dismantled the bridge in 1997 and gave the timbers to Laura and Kerry Sweitz, who owned land Шаблон:Convert north of the Drift Creek site. In 2000, the Sweitz family rebuilt the bridge over Bear Creek and granted a permanent public easement at that site.[3] Bear Creek is a tributary of the Salmon River, which it enters near Rose Lodge.[4]

The original Howe truss bridge had board-and-batten siding, arched portals, and ribbon windows along the eaves. Before being dismantled, it was the closest covered bridge to the Oregon Coast.[1] The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979[5] and removed in 1998.[6]
