Bridge Engineer, American Highway Pioneer
Conde Balcomb McCullough was born in Dakota Territory in 1887. He was raised and educated in Iowa, receiving a degree in engineering from Iowa State College. Came to Oregon in 1916 to teach structural engineering at Oregon Agricultural College.
He moved to Salem in 1919 to become State Bridge Engineer, where he initiated creation of custom-designed spans characterized by architectural elegance.
During his years with the Oregon State Highway Division, McCullough became one of the leading bridge engineers in the United States. His work in Oregon included hundreds of structures and over thirty arched spans.
The pinnicle of McCullough's career was the completion in 1936 of five major bridges along the Oregon Coast Highway (U.S. 101).
The Yaquina Bay Bridge at Newport, the Alsea Bay Bridge at Waldport, the Suislaw River Bridge at Reedsport, and the Coos Bay Bridge at North Bend (the latter being named in his honor).
Because of his work in Oregon, McCullough is recognized as a bridge engineer of national and international importance, and most of his bridges are considered significant landmarks.
