McCullough became convinced that reinforced-concrete arch spans were not only more visually arresting than their traditional steel-truss cousins but could be produced at a comparable cost and maintained more economically.
McCullough had begun putting his stamp on Oregon's beachside roadways even before the 1930s, most memorably with his Rogue River Bridge, a seven-arched leap of concrete that sits just outside the far-south hamlet of Gold Beach.
Although usually a rather modest sort, McCullough was thrilled with his coastal projects, calling them "jewel-like clasps in perfect settings, linking units of a beautiful highway." Oregon Governor Charles Martin was no less effusive when, in 1936, he mounted a dais in Coos Bay to celebrate the bridges' completion.

McCullough had a rather dim view of the engineering field in general, believing that, "engineers have been busily engaged in ruining this fair earth and taking all the romance out of it." But McCullough was going to change that.
The classic Conde bridge design elements of sweeping arches, railings of gothic-arched panels that support beveled handrails and decorative brackets lining the outer edges of the road deck are all elements that are prominent on the Upper Perry bridge.
We'll have one of Conde McCullough's early engineering jewels right up the road, polished and shining again, reminding us of a seemingly bygone age of travel when journeys had a little romance, when we had time to slow down and enjoy the views — views that deserve appreciation, like the Upper Perry Arch Bridge.

McCullough's legacy lies in the nearly six hundred bridges he and his staff designed and build in Oregon during the years between the two world wars, most notably several beautiful bridges along the Oregon Coast Highway, bridges he called "jeweled clasps in a wonderful string of pearls."
Trained as a civil engineer, McCullough came to Oregon in 1916, drawn by the state's dire need for bridges and its drive to "lift its feet out of the winter's mud and summer's dust." After developing the engineering program at Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University), McCullough was named the state's bridge engineer.
McCullough's bridges are rich in aesthetic detail; the finest amoung them are embellished with arch crowns, Art Deco-inspired pylons and obelisks, Gothic piers, towering spires, and arched railing panels.
