This standard concrete arch bridge crosses over 33rd Street in Valley City.
Built in 1906, this single span concrete arch structure may have originally crossed a waterway.
When constructed, the bridge had little decorative features. However, some small triangle imprints were constructed with the bridge.

Overall, the bridge remains in good condition. It was recently rebuilt with larger walls, which are clearly visible.

The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge can be accessed from the road it crosses.
