So, there are iron spikes priced, pittons priced, knowledge: engineering... but no where in any of the paizo books can I find a price for timber, planks, or any raw wood except for firewood! Does anyone have any idea how to price lumber?
Did you check Ultimate Campaign? All of the city/fortress building stuff is in there, so I would assume it includes building materials.
From what I am reading on the PRD, a bridge should cost about 24,000g to build.
Although it can be much cheaper if you have free labor in the form of brainwashed (or zombie) POWs.
Hire a Heavens Oracle?
Hmm

24,000 gp for any bridge? Nothing that takes into account size, location, or materials?

Per Ultimate Campaign, a bridge takes up 1 hex on the map and costs 24,000g. I don't know what the size of a hex is according to Ultimate Campaign, so adjust accordingly.
A hex is 12 miles from corner to corner (and about 95 square miles)
Nothing I've come across offers much help in deciding costs in anywhere near the manner the OP seems interested in. Then again I've yet to find the 24,000gp reference (link maybe?) Closest I've seen lists a bridge with no definition as to material(s) or length of the structure as "6BP, 1 Lot".

Back to the original question the cost of wood. Again from the UCG the price of a saw mill is 12000gp and this will get you all the wood you need and income on the side. But you are in a fantasy world get an axe a level 3+ druid (woodshape)(or 5+ if you want stone as well) some knowledge in engineering and it is basically free.
As far as oracles go i would say lunar a moon light bridge is more manly than a rainbow bridge (but don't tell thor)
A portable bridge is made of rope and slats, is 30' long and can hold 1500 lbs, and sells for 200 gp. This would be your basic "no frills" footbridge.
For a sturdier, more permanent bridge, the closest thing I can think of to use as reference is the cost of a boat. A galley is 20'x130' for 10,000 gp, but a boat is probably significantly more expensive than a bridge, so I'd say maybe 3000 gp for a sturdy bridge of the same size that can support multiple wagons, etc.
Lyre of Building may be worth investing in, if you have a Bard.

Ultimate Campaign says a Build Point (BP) is worth approximately 4,000g, but also says it's hard to put an exact value on them. A bridge costs 6 BP to build (not that I'd ever let BP build me a bridge, it might blow up!).
4,000g x 6 = 24,000g

For every full 4,000 gp in value of the deposit, increase your kingdom's BP by 1. There was also a quote where they said the quote about BP not having an exact value, but being worth roughly 4,000g each, but I can't find it now.
Kingdom building in ultimate campaign is all abstractions. You aren't building a bridge. You are building a bridge, maintaining it, establishing all sorts of support structures etc.
