The 1930 Stewart Covered Bridge is a Howe truss span located near Walden in Lane County, Oregon. It is 60 feet (18 m) long and crosses Mosby Creek, a tributary of the Row River. The bridge has semicircular portal arches, ribbon openings at the eaves, and decorative S-curve brackets.

Stewart Covered Bridge has weathered its share of challenges from heavy flood waters and snowfall. Though badly damaged multiple times, this bridge was repaired and used until the 1980s. In 1964, flood waters cracked the lower chords. Just over four years later, a heavy snowstorm dropped more than three feet of snow on most of the Willamette Valley. The roof bracing gave way under the weight of the snow, and the entire roof caved in.

In 1980, the Stewart Bridge was bypassed by a concrete bridge built immediately adjacent. The Stewart Bridge was officially "mothballed" in 1987, with one of the approaches removed, fumigation of timbers, and installation of a wire fence inside a portal for the safety of pedestrians. Steward Bridge was then closed until 1993, when the Oregon Covered Bridge Program helped fund its restoration. It reopened for pedestrian access in 1996. Currently, the bridge is closed, and the fence to keep pedestrians out has been reinstalled.

Stewart Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
