This through girder bridge crosses over the Amnicon River near Wentworth, Wisconsin.
Originally, the main span of this bridge was built in 1897 to cross the West Gallatin River near Belgrade, Montana. As engines quickly became heavier, that bridge was replaced in 1906, and all four spans ended up in Wisconsin, where all continue to serve the Tri-County Corridor.
While the other three bridges were built in late 1906 and early 1907, this span did not end up here until 1908. However, railroad documents seem to indicate plans for this bridge were made in 1906.
A missing plaque also seems to signify that this bridge was built by A&P Roberts Company, which had built numerous spans for the NP.
The entire bridge rests on timber piles. Unique to this bridge, the main piers rest on concrete blocks.
Overall, the bridge remains in fair condition. The bridge is located in a very scenic location, in the Amnicon Falls State Park.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
