This large scale deck girder bridge towers over the Manitowoc River on the north side of Manitowoc.
The bridge is of simple design. It consists of 20 deck girder spans, which rest on high steel bents. It was built in 1906 when the line north from Manitowoc was being built.
In addition, the bridge rests mainly on stone substructures and footings. However, the north end uses concrete pile piers; which likely replaced older wooden piers.
