The Wendling Bridge is a covered bridge in Lane County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The 60feet 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 1938. 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 the town, which had been named after George X. Wendling, a San Francisco millionair who provided the largest investment into Booth-Kelly's expansion in the Mohawk valley in 1899.[6]
