Located near Dow City, this through girder bridge was relocated to this location.
Built in 1952, the bridge features a single through girder main span that was built in approximately 1900 approached by trestle and set onto timber substructures. At 45 feet long, the span was likely built around 1900 and was moved here from an unknown location in 1952. Unlike other girders in the area, this span does not match design to the other structures on the route.
Prior to 1952, a simple timber trestle and deck span stood at this location. It is unknown why the previous deck girder bridge was replaced.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good to fair condition.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
