Conde McCullough - The Oregon Bridge Man
In the early days of cars, getting from one place to another on the Oregon Coast often took several days of driving. Newport to Lincoln City - 25 miles - was about a 24 hour drive. In 1919, McCullough was put in charge of fixing that. The right guy for the job, McCullough didn't just design bridges, he created works of art fitting for one of the most scenic drives anywhere. In just 15 years, McCullough made the Oregon Coast into a straightforward trip and turned a lost coast into a tourist destination.

This is the bridge capitol of da world! They got a corner on the tunnel market too!
Forget if that was the 7 km undersea one. They do tend to look the same from the inside. 🤡

Did somebody say ‘burly’?
Not quite finished...
Pretty expensive bridge just to save a 30 km drive around the end of the fjord.

That fallen Italian bridge has lost its cool. She is no longer interested.
