Located on the north side of Mason City, this small steel stringer bridge crosses Calmus Creek near 17th Street.
Built in 1947 to replace an older bridge, this structure features a single steel stringer span, set onto concrete substructures. During the 1940s, M&StL installed dozens of these spans throughout the system.
Currently, the bridge is abandoned with the rails removed. However, it is planned to become part of the Mason City High Line Trail.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with little deterioration.
The author has ranked this bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design.
