The Wendling Bridge is a covered bridge in Lane County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The 60-foot (18 m) Howe truss structure carries Wendling Road over Mill Creek in the unincorporated community of Wendling.[2] Built in 1938, the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[3]

Lane County built four covered bridges, including the Wendling Bridge, in 1936. The others are the Pengra, Goodpasture Bridge, and Earnest bridges.[4] A. C. Striker was then the county bridge superintendent.[5]

Notable features of the bridge include semi-elliptical portal arches and ribbon openings at the eaves.[5] The structure was named for George X. Wendling, who established a post office nearby in the 1890s.[5]
