The Grave Creek bridge can be seen by travellers on I-5.
The bridge features six gothic style windows on either side, concrete abutments, a Howe truss, rounded portals and a shake roof.
The 105-foot Howe truss is supported by "dumb bell" concrete piers.
Total cost of the construction, including the engineering fees, is listed at $21,128.
In the late 1990s, the bridge was closed to traffic but was reopened in 2001 after repairs to the approaches and housing.
Travel 15 miles north from Grants Pass on I-5 to the Sunny Valley exit.
Turn left at Sunny Valley Loop Road and continue north for about one mile.
Grave Creek bridge can be seen from I-5 and is approximately a quarter of a mile from the highway.
