"...the road will cross Tanner Creek on a 60-foot reinforced concrete girder bridge only 55 feet above sea level. Tanner Creek is a clear, cold mountain stream coming from the summit of the Cascade Range, fed by melting snow and springs."

Lancaster, 1914 66

Bypassed and no longer in use, the Tanner Creek Bridge is a reinforced concrete deck girder, 60 feet in length. The bridge is located near the Interstate 84 entrance to the Bonneville Dam and is now owned by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. Completed in 1915, the bridge was constructed by the State Highway Department. Charles H. Purcell was the state bridge engineer, and Samuel Lancaster was the engineer for the Columbia River Highway.
