Located in the town of Goldfield, this large deck girder bridge crosses the Boone River.
Although the date carving on the west side of the structure gives a date of 1890, it appears that the girders are actually newer. The author estimates that these were built approximately 1905, and the west approach appears to have been added around 1980.
Currently, the bridge has three deck girder spans, set onto stone and concrete substructures. In addition, a single beam span approaches on the west end of the bridge.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with little major deterioration. Unfortunately, a build date for the bridge may be difficult to come by.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
