Elk City Bridge was a covered bridge spanning the Yaquina River at Elk City in Lincoln County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It was destroyed by a storm in 1981.[2]
The original bridge, built by the county in 1922, was a 100-foot (30 m) Howe truss span supported by wooden pilings that suffered from rot.[3] Fund-raising for repairs had produced $20,000, and restoration had begun when high winds caused another $90,000 damage to the structure. The county did not have enough money for restoration or to pursue an insurance settlement through the courts.[2]
The bridge, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, was delisted after its destruction.[1]
