This single span Quadrangular Through Truss bridge crosses the Smoky Hill River River in the town of Lindsborg.
The bridge features a single span with riveted connections.
While similar to other Union Pacific trusses trusses in the area, this design of truss is relatively rare in Kansas and Missouri.
Built in approximately 1900, the bridge has had little alteration since construction. The one alteration is the replacement of the original trestle approaches with several I-Beam Spans.
This alteration likely occurred in the 1950s.
The bridge rests on timber pile substructures, and is easy to access from the trail it carries.
The bridge remains in great condition and is well maintained, and has since become part of the Valkommen Trail.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the low number of Quadrangular Trusses in the region.
