Located on the north side of Grafton, this through girder bridge crosses the Park River.
Built in 1974 using an older span, the bridge features a single through girder span, set onto timber piles and approached by trestle. The previous bridge, a pile trestle, was possibly damaged or destroyed by a flood, requiring a steel span.
When the trestle was replaced, it appears that a few spans were simply cut out, and the steel span added. The steel span was heavily rebuilt upon relocation.
A plaque on the bridge indicates a date of 1929, and writing indicates it came from the Spokane area. However, the author is not entirely sure where in the Spokane area it came from. Burlington Northern did a considerable amount of line relocations in that area between 1972 and 1974.
It is also unknown if the span was originally Great Northern or Northern Pacific. The author is attempting to find more information on this bridge.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with no significant deterioration noted.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
