Located just west of Medary Junction, this large through girder bridge is the middle trail crossing of the La Crosse River.
Built in 1909 to replace an older bridge of an unknown design, this bridge features three through plate girder spans, set onto concrete substructures.
The through girders appear to be standard designs, with the outer spans having vertical edges, while the center span has a traditional rounded edge.
At one time, there was a similar bridge along the Canadian Pacific line just downstream, although that has since been replaced.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition, with significant spalling on the substructures. The bridge now carries a spur of the Great River State Trail, which ends just west of this bridge.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The photo above is an overview. Unfortunately, much of the area around this bridge is heavily overgrown.
