Located east of Emerado, this deck girder bridge crosses Salt Water Coulee alongside County Road 4.
Built in 1909, the bridge features a single deck plate girder span, set onto concrete substructures. This span follows a standard design for the Great Northern.
This style bridge was commonly used to cross rivers, streams and roads because of the cheap cost, easy installation and limited maintenance required. A span like this could often be built while only interrupting traffic for short times.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with no major deterioration noted.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
