Located west of Mystic, this small steel girder bridge crosses 168th Avenue.
Built in approximately 1935, this bridge has features of other bridges around the Milwaukee Road system dating to the same time. It consists of a single ballasted deck steel girder bridge, set on concrete abutments.
It appears that this bridge was likely built specifically to cross the road. It is unknown if this was once a main road, such as an older routing of Iowa Highway 2.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. Many bridges along this route were upgraded in the 1930s and 1940s, indicating the main line status.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
