Broadway Bridge over the Necanicum River from A Street Bridge Google Street View
"The Necanicum River Bridge on Broadway Street in Seaside is the only known patented Luten arch in Oregon. The design and construction methods devised by Daniel B. Luten, a consulting engineer from Indianapolis, were widely used nationwide between 1910 and 1930. The ornate concrete deck arch consists of three 41-foot filled spandrel, barrel type sections with integral approaches. The bridge contains decorative urn-shaped balustrade railings and lampposts. A south side monument pedestal contains a bronze bas-relief, 'Old Oregon Trail' by noted Oregon sculptor Avard Fairbanks. The companion north pedestal features the 'Lewis and Clark, Salt Works' bronze relief."
