The Little River (Cavitt Creek) Covered Bridge is another of the wooden structures built by Floyd Frear, noted Douglas County builder.
The design features the Tudor arch portals to accommodate heavy logging truck usage, and the upper and lower chords utilize raw logs as its members. Each side of the roofed structure had three windows, and the long narrow slits above each truss allow light and ventilation for the interior of the bridge.
The covered bridge has a metal roof (which really surprised me. I had never seen a metal roof on a covered bridge) and a floor with longitudinal running planks. The covered structure sits on concrete piers.
