Over the Calapooia River on Hwy 228 |
The Crawfordsville Bridge spans the Calapooia River eight miles southeast of Brownsville on Highway 228. The area was named for Philemon Crawford, who settled in the area, and on whose land the town was established in the 1870s.The bridge at Crawfordsville displays another version of Linn County's open truss style. The roofed span, built in 1932, shows a narrow slit window on both sides of the structure. Originally the portals were rounded, but were later enlarged by State Highway employees to allow larger loads. Linn County turned the structure over to the Highway Commission when the road was designated as a state highway. In 1963, the bridge was by-passed, and the state relinquished control to Linn County. Title to the span then passed to the Linn County Park Department and today a park commemorates the historical significance of the old wooden structure. In 1976, crews involved with the filming of a TV movie, The Flood, painted the span.
