1921 - 1948
1921: "At the junction of the Alsea Highway with the Corvallis-Newport Highway, the Alsea Highway crosses Marys River on which is known as Flynn bridge.
This structure consists of a 60-foot covered wood span with 190 feet of approach trestle. Work was started about August 1, 1921, by county forces who completed the bridge on November 20, 1921. Subsequently, the County requested State aid in connection with bridge, which was granted and has been spent at the present time and consists entirely of engineering expense." (Fifth Biennial Report of the Oregon State Highway Commission)
