Currin Bridge is a 105-foot Howe truss covered bridge spanning the Row River near Lorane in Lane County, Oregon. Built in 1925, it is one of the older surviving bridges in the Row River corridor and stands at a quiet rural crossing where the river curves through open farmland and patches of oak woodland.
The bridge carries Row River Road and is a key stop on the Lane County covered bridge tour, sitting upstream from the cluster of covered bridges near Cottage Grove. Its setting combines the forested hillsides characteristic of the Calapooya Mountains with the gentler agricultural landscape of the lower Row River valley.
Currin Bridge was constructed in 1925, named for local pioneer Robert Currin who settled along the Row River in the 1850s. Currin was one of the early homesteaders who shaped the agricultural character of the upper Row River valley, and the bridge at his family's crossing point has carried his name into the 21st century.
The Row River was an important corridor for the timber and farming operations that developed in the hill country south of Cottage Grove. Covered bridges like Currin were essential infrastructure for moving logs, livestock, and farm produce across the river between the isolated valley communities and the markets at Cottage Grove and Eugene.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, Currin Bridge is among the earlier additions to the federal historic register from Oregon's covered bridge collection. Its listing helped establish the template for the multiple property nomination that would later add many more Oregon covered bridges to the register.
