Located at the back of a park in Brandon lies this unique bridge.
Built in 1891, the bridge features a standard Lassig Bridge & Iron Works design.
Utilizing a single Quadrangular Through Truss with riveted connections and pedimented portal bracing, the bridge is also approached by trestle spans on either side.
The truss sits on stone piers, while the approach spans are supported by wooden bents.
Overall, the bridge remains in good condition. It is reportedly currently out of service, but the author hopes it will be used again, either for rail transport or trail use.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the older age of the truss. However, the bridge fails to rank higher because of the dozens of more unique trusses in South Dakota.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge can easily be accessed from a park.
