The Rex T. Barber Veterans Memorial Bridge is a concrete arch bridge in the western United States; it spans the Crooked River gorge in Jefferson County in central Oregon.

Parallel and west, the older bridge was built in 1926 and was not wide enough to accommodate increased traffic on US 97.

It was the first bridge in the United States to use a cast-in-place segmental method of construction.

[2][3] Initially named the Crooked River Bridge, it was renamed in 2003 for Rex T. Barber (1917–2001), a native of the area.

A World War II fighter pilot in the Pacific Theater, Barber shot down the plane carrying Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in 1943.
