Located on the southern edge of Ortonville, this steel girder bridge crosses US Highway 12.
Built in 1954 as a bypass to the older bridge to the east, this bridge consists of three steel stringer spans, covered by a concrete fascia.
This type of design was commonly used by the Minnesota Highway Department in the 1950s and 1960s as grade separation projects. Easy to build and maintain, the bridge also features some aesthetic features as well.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. Little deterioration was noted anywhere on the bridge.
The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant, due to the newer age.
