Perspective view from southwest. Photograph by Jet Lowe, summer 1990. (Reproduction Number: HAER ORE,6-NOBE,1-10) At 5,305 feet in length, the Coos Bay Bridge is the longest of the five Public Works Administration bridges built along the Oregon Coastal Highway during the Great Depression. Made of steel, the bridge incorporates many complex structural systems and technological innovations including cantilevers, trusses, and early examples of concrete arches. Motorists feel as though they are driving under a series of arches when they travel over the bridge. Credit: Library of Congress.
