This standard through girder bridge crosses the Black River at its confluence with the Mississippi River.
Built in 1917, the bridge consists of three main through girder spans, then six deck girder spans, and 63 concrete slab spans. The entire bridge is set on concrete substructures.
This type of bridge is common along mainlines. Easy to construct and extremely robust, these bridges are good for carrying mainline traffic.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. Significant replacements to the modular concrete slab spans has occurred.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The photo above is an overview. The author hopes to get back to this bridge in the near future for better photos.
