This standard through girder bridge crosses over Minnesota Highway 7 in Hopkins.
Built in 1934, it is apparent that this bridge was built during a time of rebuilding. Another overpass approximately 3 miles east was built in the same year.
The Minnesota Highway Department was commonly designing and fabricating bridges in the 1930s. It is unknown who produced the components, but it is apparent that this bridge was erected by the highway department for the railroad.
Consisting of a single through girder, the bridge rests on concrete abutments. The bridge appears to be in fair condition, with a fair amount of abutment deterioration.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
