Located in Bellevue, this bridge is the ninth and final crossing of Kickapoo Creek along this route.
Built in 1911, likely to replace an older truss bridge, this bridge consists of a single 7-panel riveted Pratt Through Truss, approached by the trestle on the north end. The bridge rests on stone, concrete and timber substructures.
This truss appears to follow a standard design, using heavy Pratt spans and a laced portal bracing. The bridge is parallel with the UP Bridge at this location.
Today, the bridge continues to serve BNSF traffic. Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair to good condition, with no visible major deterioration.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the truss design.
