The Office Bridge, also called Westfir Covered Bridge, is in Lane County, Oregon in Westfir. It crosses the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. It is the longest covered bridge in Oregon spanning the river by 180 feet. The separate pedestrian walkway make this bridge unique as it is the only one built like this west of the Mississippi. This bridge replaced a 1941 bridge washed away in a flood. In1944 the Westfir Lumber Company built the bridge for their logging operation.
