Sheridan Bridge is a two-lane steel Truss bridge carrying vehicular traffic in Sheridan, Oregon, United States. Construction began in 1938 and finished in 1939. This 258-foot (79 m) bridge connects the northern and southern portions of the town across the South Yamhill River in Yamhill County.
Sheridan Bridge was built in 1938.[1] It was a project of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression of the 1930s.[2] When the new bridge was built, the older steel bridge was lifted up and moved down river a short distance.[1] Mountain States Construction Company built the bridge for Yamhill County.[3] In 2013, Wildish Standard Paving Company began repairs on the bridge that closed one lane during construction.[4] The Oregon Department of Transportation paid for the project that included a seismic retrofit, new paint, and resurfacing of the deck, among other improvements.[4]
