The McKee Bridge is a covered bridge in Jackson County in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] Built on land donated by Adelbert (Deb) McKee, a stage station operator, the bridge originally carried a road over the Applegate River that linked the Blue Ledge Copper Mine to Jacksonville. The site originally included an ore-hauler rest stop, about halfway between the mine and the city, where relief horses were stationed.[2] The bridge, about {{convert|8|mi|km}} north of the California border, carried mining and logging traffic from the year of its construction, 1917, through 1956.[1] An unincorporated community, McKee Bridge, is near the bridge.[3]

Since 1956, area residents, assisted at times by government funding, have maintained the bridge, which is used by pedestrians but not by motor vehicles.[1] McKee Picnic Ground in the Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest is at the west end of the bridge along the river.[2] The picnic ground and bridge are about {{convert|8.5|mi|km}} south of Ruch along Applegate Road.[1]

The McKee Bridge Historical Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to maintaining the pedestrian bridge, lists the height of the bridge at {{convert|45|ft|m}}, which makes it the highest of the four remaining covered bridges in Jackson County. It is also the longest and oldest of the four.[4]

Closed completely for three years because of rot in structural components as well as damage to the roof, the bridge reopened in June 2015 after major renovations. Grants totaling about $600,000 from the Federal Highway Administration, supplemented by matching funds of about $60,000 raised by the McKee Bridge Historical Society, paid for the project.[5] Mowat Construction Company of Woodinville, Washington, carried out the rehabilitation.[6]
