Irish Bend Bridge is a 60-foot Howe truss covered bridge spanning Oak Creek in Benton County, Oregon. Built in 1954, it is the newest covered bridge in Benton County and one of the last covered bridges built in the Willamette Valley before the form was entirely abandoned by Oregon highway departments.
The bridge was relocated from its original crossing to Finley Wildlife Refuge Road, where it now serves as a pedestrian bridge adjacent to the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
Irish Bend Bridge was constructed in 1954 by Benton County, one of the final covered bridges built in the Willamette Valley as standard highway construction practice. The "Irish Bend" name refers to a distinctive meander in the Long Tom River where Irish immigrants settled during the pioneer era.
The bridge was relocated to the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge area to preserve it after its original site became unsuitable for vehicle traffic. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 and now serves pedestrians exploring the refuge.
