Snow on the Freeway Lakes, Oregon Although this is called the Freeway Lakes it is more like three small ponds in close proximity to each other. They are located on the south side of Albany, Oregon close to the I-5 freeway. This is one of the few times of the year it is actually pretty around them. We had just had a snow/ice storm come through and the temperatures were nice and cold. Everything was very frosty looking. My camera lens kept getting foggy. So if you see some errant streaks, oops!

Hayden Covered Bridge - Alsea, Oregon The future of this covered bridge may be different. After being in service for over 100 years, the Hayden Covered Bridge is slated to have a future as a pedestrian bridge. In 2017, an analysis determined that the bridge could not be strengthened to the legal load limit, so constructing a new bridge has been proposed at an estimated cost of $2,712,214. Construction is anticipated to begin on the new bridge in April 2024, and it is expected that the Hayden Covered Bridge will be saved for pedestrian use.

On the Alsea River One of several covered bridges that were built in the Alsea River Valley, the Hayden Covered Bridge is the last covered bridge that remains. Oregon's last covered bridge located on a primary state highway, the Mill Creek Covered Bridge on Oregon Highway 34, stood just two miles away. But even the Hayden Covered Bridge has seen changes over time. In the 1946 reconstruction, the bridge's portals were once rounded in its design, but have been enlarged to a more modern design to facilitate larger loads. Vertical board and batten siding flare out at the covered bridge's base, similar to covered bridges found in nearby Lincoln County. A daylighting window strip placed below the roofline on both sides of the bridge illuminates the covered bridge's interior.

One of Oregon's oldest covered bridges One of Oregon's oldest covered bridges, the Hayden Covered Bridge spans over the Alsea River just west of the town of Alsea in Benton County, Oregon. Located just off Oregon Highway 34 and the Marys Peak to Pacific Scenic Byway, the Hayden Covered Bridge was built in 1918, reconstructed in 1946 and rehabilitated in 2003. The covered bridge was built in a Howe through truss design at a length of 150 feet, with a main span of 90 feet in length. The bridge can host a single lane of traffic at a time with a maximum vehicle height of 11 feet 6 inches and a maximum vehicle width of 16 feet. In 1979, the bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places

Hayden Covered Bridge Hayden Bridge, a Howe truss structure, spans the Alsea River about 2 miles west of Alsea, Oregon, United States. Constructed in 1918, the 91-foot span is one of only seven remaining covered bridges in Oregon that were built before 1920. Similar spans such as the Mill Creek Bridge crossed the Alsea or one of its tributaries in the same vicinity, but only the Hayden Bridge has survived. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Located along Hayden Road just south of Oregon Route 34, the bridge was either partly or completely rebuilt in 1945. Changes included larger and less rounded bridge portals that could accommodate larger vehicles. Narrow openings under the side-wall eaves on both sides of the span illuminated the interior. The bridge, repaired again in 2003, required further work in 2006 after a logging truck crashed into it.

Of the more than 600 covered bridges once found in Oregon, only 50 remain. After 1915, although some were of queen-post or king-post design, most of the new covered bridges were of Howe-truss design. In that year, the Oregon legislature passed a law giving the Oregon State Highway Department oversight powers for bridges worth more than $500. The department developed plans for Howe-truss bridges, partly because they were relatively easy to assemble, and distributed them to the state's counties. Many of these bridges, often built with Douglas-fir timber available locally, were replaced in the 1940s and 1950s by bridges more suited to logging trucks and other big vehicles. Although most of the original bridges no longer exist, the remaining bridges have gained value as tourist attractions.
