Rocky Creek Bridge
Another one of Conde McCullough's bridges, also known as Ben Jones Bridge, is a concrete highway bridge spanning Rocky Creek along the Pacific coast of Oregon. The bridge crosses a gorge near the creek's mouth south of Depoe Bay.
Built in 1927, the bridge originally carried U.S. Route 101 (the Oregon Coast Highway) over the creek. After a stretch of the highway was relocated to make it straighter, the abandoned piece of the old highway became Otter Crest Loop Road, a bypass west of the new highway.
The Oregon Department of Transportation repaired and reconstructed parts of the deteriorating bridge in 2001 and added safety features. The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office assisted with the project, and the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
