The '''Depoe Bay Bridge''' is one of a series of significant bridges along the Oregon Coast Highway. The concrete arch bridge spans the mouth of Depoe Bay at milepost 127.61 with a {{convert|150|ft|m|adj=on}} main span, and a total length of {{convert|312|ft|m}}. The bridge's designer was Conde McCullough who designed all of the 1920s bridges on the highway. The original bridge, completed in 1927, was only {{convert|18|ft|m}} wide from curb to curb with no sidewalks, and was widened in 1940 with a similar arched concrete bridge immediately adjacent to the original. The added structure is sympathetic to the original and is included in the National Register of Historic Places listing.<ref name=nrhpnom1>{{Cite web |last=Hadlow |first=Robert W. |title=Depoe Bay Bridge No. 01388 |url={{NRHP url|05000823}} |publisher=National Park Service |access-date=August 27, 2012 |date=June 30, 2004}}</ref>
==Description== left|thumb|Depoe Bay Bridge The bridge spans the narrow outlet of Depoe Bay with one long arch and three arched girders on one approach side, with a smaller arched girder on the other side. The bridge was built by the Kuckenberg-Wittman Company for $55,000. The deck features a decorative arched railing with details in the Art Moderne style popular at the time. The 1940 bridge joins the original bridge to create a {{convert|48|ft|m|adj=mid|-wide}} roadway with {{convert|5|ft|m|adj=on}} sidewalks on either side. The new span was built by the Odom Construction Company and incorporates stairs and a walkway under the bridge for access to the Depoe Bay Whale Watching Center.<ref name=nrhpnom1/>
The Depoe Bay Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 2005.<ref name="nris"/>
