This simply composed Deck Girder bridge crosses Noix Creek in Louisiana.

The bridge was built in 1896 by the Lassig Bridge & Iron Works. The bridge is built of 2 deck girder spans.
Portions of the east abutment were encased in concrete at an unknown date. The former eastbound track is currently unused.

The author rates this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common nature of the bridge. However, it retains excellent historic integrity.
