The Hannah Bridge is a covered bridge in Linn County in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Hannah Bridge in 1979.[2]

Carrying Burmester Creek Road, the bridge crosses Thomas Creek about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Jordan.[1] It is one of three remaining covered bridges along Thomas Creek; the others are the Shimanek Bridge and the Gilkey Bridge.[3]

Hannah Bridge, 105 feet (32 m) long, was constructed in 1936. It is named for John Joseph Hannah, a pioneer who arrived in Oregon in 1853 and settled a land claim of 151 acres (61 ha) between Thomas Creek and Bilyeu Creek. He built one of the first sawmills in the area.[1]
