Located near Forreston, this through girder once crossed the Milwaukee Road mainline.
Built in 1927, the bridge consisted of a through girder span, set onto stone abutmets. However, the bridge was removed in 1985 after the route was abandoned.
The author has ranked this bridge as having no significance, due to the removal of the bridge. Only the abutments remain.
