This standard concrete slab bridge crosses Main Street in Plattsmouth.
Built in 1908, the bridge was built as an early grade separation. However, Main Street no longer goes under the bridge due to clearance issues.
Resting on concrete substructures, the bridge appears to remain in good condition.

The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
