This bridge is a simple deck girder span over Wavy Drive just west of New York Mills. It originally crossed US Highway 10.
This bridge was originally built in 1928 to cross the newly formed US-10N. This would later be renamed to US-10 and eventually moved onto a new alignment in 1976. The substructures are constructed of concrete.

The author has ranked this bridge as locally significant because of the common design.
