This bridge is a simple concrete arch bridge, right along Hiawatha Avenue (MN-55) in South Minneapolis.
The railroad here is abandoned, and in a derelict condition. The bridge overall is in decent condition, with some spalling.
The bridge could possibly become part of a trail in the coming years through Minnehaha Park. The structure was built in 1907.

The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The date was found in the center of the span. The photo above is an overview.
