Civil engineer and builder Conde Balcom McCullough left an awe-inspiring legacy of bridge design in Oregon that is impressive on an international scale. McCullough’s bridges, primarily built between the two World Wars, were innovative in their use of reinforced-concrete arch construction. Of the nearly 600 bridges designed by McCullough and his staff, those along the Oregon Coast are some of the most beautiful.
