This small and rather unique culvert crosses over Holland Creek near Holland.
Carrying the Pioneer Trail, the bridge was built in approximately 1890. This design was common for small creeks.
Resting on stone substructures, the bridge remains in rather good condition, with minor wear and tear.

The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the small span length.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge can be accessed from the trail above.
