Located along Wilder Road in Shawnee, this large through girder bridge is the northernmost crossing of Mill Creek.
Built in 1917, the bridge features a massive single span through plate girder, set onto concrete substructures. In addition, the bridge also utilizes a ballasted deck.
Along the Holliday-Topeka line, there are a number of massive girder bridges, which indicate how heavily built the line is. This bridge is located near Holliday, where this line meets the busy Emporia Subdivision.
Little modifications appear to have been made to this bridge since it was first constructed.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
