The Brumbaugh Bridge was a covered bridge in Lane County in the U.S. state of Oregon. Built in 1948, the structure originally carried Row River Road over Mosby Creek near Cottage Grove.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and was subsequently delisted.[1]

The bridge was demolished in 1979. Some of its timbers were combined with timbers from Meadows Bridge, also demolished in 1979, to construct a covered pedestrian bridge, Centennial Covered Bridge, over the Coast Fork Willamette River in Cottage Grove.[4]

The Howe truss structure, 90 feet (27 m) long, was the second covered bridge at this location.[5] The first Brumbaugh Bridge was a 92-foot (28 m) Howe truss structure built in 1925.[5]
