This large through truss bridge crosses the Chippewa River near Bruce, Wisconsin.
This bridge features three large Warren Through Trusses. These spans each contain 6 panels, and riveted connections.
In addition, the east end contains several I-Beam spans. All the spans are set onto concrete substructures.
The bridge was rehabilitated in 2012 during the rail line restoration for sand traffic.
The restoration included encasement of the piers, and replacement of some non-critical components of the truss.
Because of this, the author has ranked the bridge as having moderate significance. The bridge retains excellent historic integrity, and is an uncommon example of a multi span truss in Northern Wisconsin.
