Grave Creek bridge, 105 feet long with a Howe truss support, was built in 1920 on what was once the main north-south highway through the beautiful "Sunny Valley" north of Grants Pass. After completion of I-5, this road served only local traffic.
The bridge was slated for destruction and road crews were going to replace it with a concrete structure but after local outcry, it was restored and opened to traffic in February 2001. It has concrete approach ramps and heavy steel reinforcements throughout the wooden structure. Grave Creek Bridge can easily be found by driving north of Grants Pass to "Sunny Valley" exit. The bridge can be seen from I-5. Click thumbs for larger image
