The Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge, is a concrete arch bridge that spans the Rogue River
in Curry County, Oregon. The bridge was constructed by the Mercer Fraser Company of
Eureka, California. The bridge carries U.S. Route 101 across the river, near the point
where the river empties into the Pacific Ocean, and connects the towns of Gold Beach
and Wedderburn. A bridge with strong Art Deco influences, the Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge
is a prominent example of the designs of the Oregon bridge designer and highway engineer
Conde McCullough. The Oregon State Highway Department awarded the $568,181.00
($8.32 million in 2017 dollars) construction contract to the Mercer, Fraser Company
of Eureka, California on January 16, 1930. Work began on the bridge at Gold Beach
April of 1930. It was dedicated on May 28, 1932.
