Ollie Woods Bridge:  Constructed in 1921 and later replaced.  This is the first bridge on Blaine Road heading east.  Standing at the end of RO Richards Road you can recognize the same bank configuration.

Shorty Farmer Bridge:  Constructed in 1913 and later replaced twice.  This is the second bridge on Blaine Road heading east.  When this bridge was replaced, the leftover cement-filled steel columns were abandoned in the Nestucca River (they can still be seen lying in the river).  The schoolhouse in the photographs is still present today and is being used as a residence.

Moon Creek Bridge:  Constructed in 1938 and replaced in 1998.  Located at milepost 1.9 on Moon Creek Road. The picture looks north.

(Whalen) Island Bridge:  Constructed in 1933 and later replaced.  Even with current construction standards this bridge proves challenging to maintain as the tide strongly pulls in and out under this bridge four times a day.

Cloverdale Bridge:  Constructed in 1925 and later replaced.  Located in Cloverdale on Woods-Cloverdale Road over the Nestucca River.

Woods Bridge:  Constructed in 1929 and later replaced.  Located at the south end of Ferry Street at Resort Drive in Woods.  This bridge was constructed when the ferry operation at this site failed to be worth the effort. 

Pacific City Bridge:  Constructed in 1940 and later replaced.  Also known as the "Erza Beachy Bridge."  Both photos look west.  At the far end of the bridge was the vehicle turnaround.  Cape Kiwanda Drive and all the housing on the far west side of the Nestucca River was virtually non-existent when this photo was taken.

Pacific City Slough Bridge:  Constructed in 1941 and later replaced.  Note in the second photo the lack of development in the area.  It is tough to make out in this scanned photo, but the Pacific City Bridge is in the middle horizon of the first photo.   This road is likely in a slightly different location than Brooten Road is now.
