Located just south of Halsted, this three span deck girder bridge crosses an unnamed creek along US-75 at the intersection with Norman County Road 21.
Built in 1913 to replace a longer wooden trestle, the bridge consists of three deck girder spans and a single timber stringer span on either side. The entire bridge rests on concrete substructures. The timber spans were added to replace deteriorated concrete slab spans.
It is unknown why such a large and heavy bridge was built across this small drainage creek. It is possible that the nearby Red River floods so badly at this location that it was the only good option.
Overall, the bridge appeared to be in fair condition during a 2012 inspection. Since then, the bridge has had the deck removed.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
