Located in Bangor, this massive concrete arch bridge crosses Dutch Creek.
Built in 1911, the bridge was formed out of the abutments of what was an older deck girder span. These previous stone abutments can be easily seen at the ends of the bridge. The current bridge is a large single concrete arch span.
The 1911 bridge was likely built while the older bridge remained operational. It is likely that concrete was poured either underneath the older girders, or the bridge was shifted to the side.
Several large concrete arches were built throughout the Milwaukee Road system. Unlike some of the earlier spans, this span utilizes an expansion joint at the middle, to prevent unnecessary cracking.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
