Located along at 11th Street and Avenue A in Council Bluffs, this through girder bridge is the first crossing of Indian Creek.
Prior to 1998, this bridge had five tracks. However, due to downsizing, three tracks were replaced with a new through girder bridge.
The remaining track is a through girder bridge, set onto concrete substructures. It appears that it was built around 1915.
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 #33, #34 and #35. Bridges 34 and 35 were later removed.
Overall, this bridge appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
