Currin Bridge #2
Posted by Eric Cousineau (Sherwood Park, Canada) on 27 February 2011 in Architecture and Portfolio.
The Currin Bridge was built in 1925 to replace another bridge built in 1883. The lowest bid received by Lane County for construction of the bridge was $6,250, so the county decided to build the bridge on its own for $4,205, saving $2,495 of taxpayers' money. The bridge was named after a early pioneer family.
Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.
