Located along River Road near Parkville, this small through girder bridge crosses Roy's Creek.
The bridge was built in 1908, when the CB&Q double tracked this route. However, the second track was removed in 1958 before being reinstalled in 2005.
Currently the bridge consists of parallel bridges. The older 1908 bridge consists of a single through girder span, with a steel deck. The newer span consists of a modular concrete span. The bridge rests on concrete and steel pile substructures.
This style bridge was common for crossing small creeks, as it was easy to construct and maintain. The author is currently investigating to confirm the 1908 build date.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with no major deterioration.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
