Located between Freeport and Albany, this deck girder bridge has a unique history.
Originally, the bridge was built in 1921 with the main span set onto wooden piers and trestle approaches. When it was determined that the timber was quickly decaying, the bridge was replaced.
In 1941, the bridge was completely rebuilt. The main span was retained, but a new west approach was moved from Bridge #1 at Dean, Washington. Dean was a small station south of Chattaroy, in Spokane County Washington. The east approach was built new at this location.
The entire bridge rests on concrete substructures. The use of secondhand material is common for railroads, to keep costs low.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the newer age.
