The Crawfordsville Bridge spans the Calapooia River adjacent to Oregon Route 228 near the community of Crawfordsville in Linn County, Oregon, United States.[2]
The 105-foot Howe truss type bridge was built in 1932. The bridge was bypassed in 1963 and is now maintained by the Linn County Parks & Recreation Department as a pedestrian bridge across the river. Since 1990, the bridge has been the site of a Bridge Day festival held annually in the summer.[3] A small park next to the bridge includes a picnic table and fire pit.[2]
The bridge was featured in the 1976 television movie, The Flood.[4]
The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5]
