The 1927 Wimer Bridge was a Queen truss covered bridge over Evans Creek in Jackson County, Oregon. The version that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places was built in 1927. This structure, 85 feet (26 m) long, carried East Evans Creek County Road over the creek in the rural community of Wimer. The creek is a tributary of the Rogue River, which joins at the small city of Rogue River.

An earlier covered span, built in 1892 by J. W. Osbourne, crossed the creek at this location, according to residents and an engineering database. The 1927 bridge replaced that older span.

After the 1927 bridge deteriorated, residents refurbished it in 1962. However, by the mid-1970s, the bridge was closed after further decline. Repairs in 1985 led to reopening it with an eight-ton limit, later reduced to three tons. Before further repairs were undertaken, the structure collapsed in 2003. It fell 40 feet (12 m) into the water, injuring three people who were crossing the bridge at the time and were rescued by customers at the adjacent Wimer Market who heard shouts for help coming from the pile of rubble of the fallen bridge.

In 2008, with the help of federal funds and local labor, the bridge was replaced with a look-alike bridge using reinforced trusses with metal braces, laminated beams that look like timber, concrete approaches, and industrial roofing made to resemble wooden shakes. This one-way bridge, still 17 feet (5.2 m) wide, has a load limit of 10 tons and opened to traffic in February 2008.
