The Vance Creek bridge was opened in the Spring of 1929 by the Simpson Logging Company where their logging trains hauled logs to their sawmill in Shelton. The bridge was used until 1985 when logging ended at Camp Govey with the closing of high country logging. It is 827 feet long and 346 feet above the creek bed. You can read about the bridge and see some photos in the book, "Logging To The Salt Chuck" by John T. Labbe and Peter J. Replinger. George
