Located near Council Hill, this large stone arch bridge crosses Kelly Road in a rather isolated area.
Built in 1853 as an early stone arch in Illinois, this structure features a single stone arch span. The arch was lined in 1923, a repair which has held up.
East of the Mississippi, railroad bridges, particularly stone arches, dating to the 1850s aren't extremely rare, like they are west of the Mississippi River.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. The original stonework is still visible on the structure.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the older age of the structure.
