Other Notes: The Pass Creek Covered Bridge is located in Drain, Oregon, and although the official date of construction of the bridge is 1925, members of the Umpqua Historic Preservation Society say the bridge was built in 1906, according to Oregon Department of Transportation. It originally carried stagecoaches over Pass Creek before being moved a few hundred feet from its original location in 1987 and reassembled behind the Drain Civic Center.

 

In 2014 the city closed the deteriorating bridge completely.

The city is looking for funding to restore the bridge to pedestrian traffic.
