One of the few remaining original bridges in Klamath Falls, OR, the Link River Bridge was constructed in 1931 and commemorated with two bronze plaques, one on the NW corner of the bridge, the other on the SE corner. The bridge has weathered the years pretty well and the original sidewalks are still in place on both sides of the bridge.
There is safe parking at the Veteran's Park Marina nearby.
*BONUS Benchmark* NGS monumented a benchmark right underneath the SE corner plaque in the sidewalk in 1931. Two pieces of history for you to visit! Click the link below to got to Geocaching.com benchmark datasheet to log it if you so desire:
