The St. Johns Bridge in Portland is also quite beautiful, but was designed by David B. Steinman, though McCullough put in a bid for the project as well. The St Johns is my favorite Oregon bridge (though McCullough's Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport is a very close 2nd). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Johns_Bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Johns_Bridge
See also this article for the competition between Steinman and McCollough and some insights into ODOT Green: https://www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-bridges-green-paint-history/ https://www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-bridges-green-paint-... (I believe there is an error in that article in the caption for the picture of the Astoria-Meglar bridge which they say was designed by McCollough - but it was built in 1966, much too late. Wikipedia says it was designed by ODOT/WDOT which is much more likely, I don't think McCollough would design something so ugly)
The Astoria-Megler bridge is probably the ugliest bridge in Oregon (in addition to just looking kind of flimsy). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria%E2%80%93Megler_Bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria%E2%80%93Megler_Bridge
