Located in Akron, this small girder bridge crosses an unnamed drainage ditch.
Little is known about the history of this bridge. It reportedly was built in 1947, but it clearly uses relocated spans.
The main span of this bridge is exceptionally light, and features a twinned girder design. It appears that it may date to approximately 1900. The girder span is approached by a trestle span on either side, and the bridge sits on timber piers.
Spans like this were commonly used due to the ease of construction. On this route, several steel spans were moved from other locations to replace deteriorated trestles.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in poor condition, with significant timber deterioration noted. The bridge is scheduled to be replaced in 2022.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
