This standard Through Girder bridge crosses Indian Creek in a very industrialized area of Council Bluffs, along with many other railroad bridges.
It is the 11th Railroad Bridge across Indian Creek, which is channelized. It sits at the end of the former Milwaukee Road yard.
Built in 1900, the bridge consists of a single through girder span, set onto concrete substructures.
It is believed that IAIS still owns this property, although it is no longer active.
The bridge also sits next to the IAIS Bridge, which is located to the north.
When the creek was channelized in the late 1930s, all bridges were assigned a number from south to north. As a result, city plans consider this to be bridge #8.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. The southernmost track on this bridge was removed at an unknown date.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
