Located in Emerado, this large deck girder bridge is the eastern crossing of Hazen Brook at the intersection of 17th Street and 25th Street.
Built in 1914, the bridge features two deck plate girder spans, set onto concrete substructures. In addition, the bridge is approached by two concrete slab spans on the east and one on the west. This bridge follows a standard design for the Great Northern.
This style bridge was commonly used to cross rivers, streams and roads because of the cheap cost, easy installation and limited maintenance required. A span like this could often be built while only interrupting traffic for short times.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with no major deterioration noted.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
