This Oregon State Highway Department mark was set in northeast corner of the old highway bridge across Alsea Bay. When the 1936 bridge was replaced in 1991 the the northern end of the old bridge was preserved and made into a view point for the new bridge. The benchmark remains in the base of the eastern bridge pylon.
