This bridge is one of the more historic and unique bridges over any road in the area.

The bridge is a total of 320 feet in length, because of a grade difference between Union Pacific's Kenosha Subdivision and the C&M Subdivision.

The long trestle approach on the east end creates a long rise to the higher grade of the C&M subdivision.

The main spans are steel. The piers underneath are concrete, and one is stamped 1910. Unfortunately traffic would not let me across the road.
