The Weyerhaeuser Pe Ell Bridge was a covered bridge located over the Chehalis River in Pe Ell, Washington. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982 but delisted in 1990. The historic structure was destroyed due to rushing waters during flooding caused by the Great Coastal Gale of 2007.[2]

History

Rebuilt bridge

As of 2024, a rebuilt bridge, known as the Tin Bridge, spans the Upper Chehalis River crossing. The site has been a planned location of a dam, proposed under the Chehalis River Basin Flood Authority and partnerships, to control flooding in the Chehalis Valley.[3]
