The Wendling Bridge is a covered bridge in Lane County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The 60-foot (18 m) Howe truss structure carries Wendling Road over Mill Creek in the unincorporated community of Wendling. Built in 1938, the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Lane County built four covered bridges, including the Wendling Bridge, in 1936. The others are the Pengra, Goodpasture Bridge, and Earnest bridges. A. C. Striker was then the county bridge superintendent.
Notable features of the bridge include semi-elliptical portal arches and ribbon openings at the eaves. The structure was named for George X. Wendling, who established a post office nearby in the 1890s.
