    The 1925 Currin Covered Bridge, also known as the Row River Bridge, is a 105-foot Howe truss covered bridge near Cottage Grove, Oregon, which crosses the Row River. The Currin Bridge was built to replace another bridge built in 1883 by Nels Roney. The lowest bid received by Lane County for the construction of the new bridge was $6,250, so the county decided to build the bridge on its own for $4,205, saving $2,495 of taxpayers' money. Like many covered bridges, it was named after an early pioneer family that settled in the vicinity.

     

    The Currin Bridge is the only bridge in Oregon that is painted two different colors, with white portals and red sides, and is one of seven covered bridges in the immediate area. In 1979, Lane County completed a new concrete bridge near the Currin Bridge and closed the old bridge to traffic. The new bridge is only a few feet away from the Currin Bridge, which is still accessible by pedestrians. In 1987, the bridge had work done fumigating for insects and structural repair, and in 1993–1995, the Oregon Covered Bridge Program of Lane County received a grant of $48,000 to restore the bridge.

     

    As a recipient of the Oregon Covered Bridge Program grants in 1993, the bridge was substantially renovated. Repairs included structural, rails, roof, siding, and paint. In 1995, the bridge was reopened to pedestrians.

     

    The Currin Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
