This small through girder span crosses the Canadian National on the north side of Manitowoc. This Canadian National line is a former Soo Line mainline.
Built in 1914, the bridge is of simple design. It consists of a single through girder span, which was constructed as a second generation overpass at this location.
In addition, the bridge rests on concrete substructures.
Overall, the structure appears to be in very good condition. It has been ranked by the author as being locally significant, due to the common design.
