Located north of I-35E, this bridge crosses Edgerton Street.
Built in 1947, the bridge consists of a single through girder span, set onto concrete piers. It is approached by a single steel stringer and trestle spans on either side.
The bridge runs at a heavy skew across the roadway. Other than this, the bridge has little unique features.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. Little serious deterioration was noted

The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design. The photo above is an overview.
