Located near the small isolated town of Burnett, this large deck truss bridge crosses the Cloquet River.
Originally, the bridge was built during the first construction of the line. This structure was likely a light deck truss bridge.
In 1906, a second track was added on the west side of the existing structure. This new structure featured an 8-panel, riveted Warren Deck Truss with a series of deck girder spans on either side. This track was set onto concrete and steel substructures.
The original bridge was replaced in 1924 with an identical span to the 1906 structure. This structure was set onto stone and steel substructures.
Other than the different build dates, these structures are remarkably similar. Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. The 1906 structure is currently out of use.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the truss design.
