The Old Youngs Bay Bridge is a bascule bridge across Youngs Bay in Astoria, Oregon, completed in 1921. Conde McCullough was responsible for designing this bridge, his first for Oregon.
The bridge consists of two 75feet steel bascule leaves approached over a pile trestle and timber spans. It has a total length of 1766feet.[2] The bridge features early versions of McCullough's signature accent elements, with Art Moderne concrete pylons topped by light fixtures flanking the landings at either end of the bridge.[3]
