Schooner Landing Trip: Day 5

In 1931, the Oregon Highway Department began construction of the spectacular Yaquina Bay Bridge (an early design sketch is shown to the left), which, upon completion in 1933, brought Highway 101 to the bluff beside the 50-year old Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. The new bridge was one of a string of architectural and engineering masterpieces designed by Oregon's visionary bridge engineer, Conde McCullough. Most of these bridges are still in place today, and continue to carry traffic along Highway 101
