All photos are northbound unless otherwise stated.


Leaving Waldport on the Alsea Bay Bridge. The concrete pillars at each end date to 1936 but because this crosses a bay instead of a river, the original bridge's elements corroded and it had to be replaced in 1991, which is why there is now a steel arch instead of a concrete one.


Now across Yaquina Bay on a 1936 bridge from none other than Conde McCullough.


I managed to take more side views of the Yaquina Bay Bridge than from US 101. Photos start on the east side and cross under the bridge in Newport to the parking lot near the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse.


Speaking of which, I'm back on US 101 at Lighthouse Drive.


Across the 1927 Depoe Bay Bridge, widened with a second set of arches in 1940, and then looking west from the east side of the bay.


This photo from the north side of the bridge notes Depoe Bay's claim as the world's smallest harbor.


Across Schooner Creek and into Lincoln City. They had two chances to get the font right and botched both.


From the world's smallest harbor, I take you to the world's shortest river, listed for years in the Guinness Book of World Records at 440'. However, Montana then submitted the Roe River to take away that record and after much dispute as to what constitutes a river, Guinness stopped keeping the record.


This heralds the Port of Tillamook Bay Air Museum, nearing the city of Tillamook.


US 101 NB follows Pacific Ave. into downtown Tillamook. The first overhead is at 4th St. and remaining signs are at 3rd St., where OR 6 EB begins to the right and OR 131 EB ends from the left. Why not just extend OR 6 to the coast? I do not think the standalone OR 6 shield is the proper shape, but that's the price you pay for having a strangely shaped standard.


Continuing north on US 101 in 2014, it jogs a block west on 1st St. (OR 6's WB end) to get back to Main Ave., and these signs are overhead from left to right as OR 131 WB begins. Since 2014, US 101 NB was extended straight ahead, directly onto a new Hoquarton Slough bridge, so these older signs have all been replaced.


Two photos of the old bridge across Hoquarten Slough, and then the 1931 Wilson River Bridge nearing Tillamook Creamery. The bridge is the northern boundary of a long tendril of Tillamook that annexed along US 101 up to the river.


Looking back south at this Conde McCullough bridge.
