Fisher Covered Bridge

The Fisher Covered Bridge was refurbished in 1927 but actually was built in 1919.  The county put up the 1927 sign in error and has never corrected it.  This was the second bridge on a Central Coast bridge ride.

 

 


 

A modern concrete span sits just upriver from the covered bridge.  The only reason people cross the covered bridge these days is to say that they crossed it.  At least the county left it open to traffic.

 

 

Carl tried out his new “beer keg” fuel tank on this ride.  Aside from a minor fuel spill, it worked great for him.  Now I want one!

 

Hayden Covered Bridge


The Hayden Covered Bridge is just west of Alsea.  It was originally built in 1918 and has been rebuilt or repaired several times since then.  This was the first stop on a ride to visit many of the Central Coast covered bridges.

 

The plaque reads: “Hayden CovereD Bridge.  Rehabilitation completed 2003.  Covered bridge was originally constructed in 1918, and rebuilt in 1946.  Benton County Commissioners Jay Dixon, Linda Modrell, Annabelle Jaramillo.”

This bridge has wooden pilings.

Irish Bend Covered Bridge

Today Drew, Nick , and myself went out to the Irish Bend Covered Bridge on the OSU campus for some photos.  The road is normally closed off to all but official vehicles.  I attained special permission from the Oregon State Police dispatch in Corvallis to ride out to the bridge and take some photos.  It pays to ask people nicely.


 

Drew got a new slip-on exhaust.  It gives me ideas for my bike…

 


 

Goofing around.
