The Hannah Bridge is another covered span crossing the Thomas Creek in Linn County. It was constructed in 1936, 1.5 meters away from the original location of the Stayton-Jordan Covered Bridge.

The Hannah Bridge took its name from the founder of one of the first sawmills in the area, John Joseph Hannah. He arrived in this part of Oregon in 1853 and acquired 151 acres of land around the Thomas and Bilyeu Creeks. He used the water from Bilyeu Creek to power his mills.

Today, the Hannah Bridge is quite a popular spot for swimmers during the summer. They tend to use the bridge as a platform where they jump to get to the deep pool below it. It has also been used for numerous TV commercials in the past.
