Located east of Bangor, this small deck girder bridge crosses an unnamed creek.
While the current bridge was built in 1914, the steel span is recorded as being older. It is unknown where it may have come from, but a number of similar spans were always recycled from second tracks, sidings and bridges being filled by a culvert. During a 1918 valuation, the steel was rated at 80 percent condition, which following a standard formula for calculating condition, correlates to the year 1904.
The current bridge features this steel deck girder span, set onto concrete abutments. The bridge is twinned, consisting of four girder lines. It appears that these are original to the bridge, and the bridge was not later modified.
Immediately to the west, an identical bridge still exists. These small bridges were popular for crossing ditches, due to the ease of construction.
Overall, the bridge appears to remain in excellent condition. In addition, the former Milwaukee Road (now Canadian Pacific) has a bridge immediately to the north, although it was replaced in the 1980s.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
