This old deck girder bridge crosses the Chetek River south of Chetek, next to County Road SS (Old US-53).
The bridge was built in 1892 by Lassig Bridge & Iron Works. It is a fairly early example of a span type that would be mass produced and extremely common just a decade later.
The bridge rests on a combination of concrete and wood substructures. An additional pier has been added under the Deck Girder, for further support.
The bridge is also approached by trestle. Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition. The deck girder span is likely in poor condition.
The author has ranked this bridge as locally significant, because of the common design. However, the age of the span and early example of such should boost its significance.
