Lowell Bridge is a 165-foot Howe truss covered bridge spanning the Middle Fork of the Willamette River near Lowell in Lane County, Oregon. Built in 1945, it is one of the longest covered bridges in Oregon and the centerpiece of the small agricultural community that bears the same name.
The bridge carries West Boundary Road and is notable for its impressive length and the rural pastoral valley setting near what is now Dexter Reservoir. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
Lowell Bridge was constructed in 1945 to serve the agricultural community around Lowell, one of the small towns that developed in the Middle Fork Willamette Valley. Its 165-foot span makes it one of the most substantial covered bridges in Lane County, reflecting the engineering confidence that came from decades of Howe truss construction in the region.
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The surrounding community was significantly affected by the construction of Dexter Dam and Reservoir in the 1950s, which altered the valley landscape while the bridge continued to serve local traffic.
