Hayden Bridge is a 91-foot Howe truss covered bridge spanning the Alsea River near Alsea in Benton County, Oregon. Built in 1918, it is one of the older surviving covered bridges in the Willamette Valley and one of the few spanning a major Coast Range river system.
Named for early settler Ira Hayden, the bridge provides a connection across the Alsea River in the hill country of western Benton County, and remains open to vehicle traffic.
Hayden Bridge was constructed in 1918 and named for an early settler in the Alsea valley. The bridge provided reliable year-round access across the Alsea River for the farming and ranching communities in the Coast Range foothills of western Benton County.
The bridge was substantially rehabilitated while preserving its historic Howe truss character. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
