Located near St. Peter, this standard stone box culvert currently sits abandoned along Minnesota Highway 22.
Built in 1899, the culvert features a single span and stepped wing walls. This culvert is a true box culvert, although old rails have been embedded and support the stone slab.
Overall, the structure remains in good condition. The rail grade has been plowed under around the culvert.

The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
