This common deck girder bridge is the 12th crossing of Mill Creek on the Union Pacific mainline.
The bridge is composed of a four of deck girder spans, set onto concrete substructures. These girders appear to be from several different locations and eras, judging by the missing plaques.
While the author can assume the builders based on missing plaques, it appears that the bridge was completely rebuilt in 1923. The two Lassig spans likely were part of the previous crossing here. It also may be possible they were scrap spans, moved in from another location.
The author is attempting to find more information on this bridge, although it is difficult to find records for the Rock Island.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge can be accessed via the nearby roads.
