Located in the town of Somonauk, this deck girder bridge crosses Somonauk Creek.
Built in 1900, the bridge consists of a single deck girder span, set onto stone abutments. These abutments have been repaired with concrete. In addition, the girder has a ballasted deck.
Small girder spans like these were common to cross smaller creeks. It is likely that this structure was built for a double tracking project.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
