by Jackson County and operated as a free bridge until it was replaced by the present
Old Pacific Highway Bridge.

This marker was placed by the Southern Oregon Historical Society. SOHS has placed a number of these 'T' markers around Southern Oregon and are easily spotted by their painted yellow posts.
