This large bridge crosses the Fox River between Montgomery and Oswego.
The bridge is a simply composed structure, comprised of 4 Deck Girder spans, an I-Beam span over IL-25, trestle on the north approach and concrete approach on the south side.
In 1903, the four main spans were constructed. By 1938, American Bridge Company would add the south approach.
The concrete slab approach is a modular design, added in the early 2000s, to replace wooden trestle.
The structure is best accessed from the east end, along IL-25. The bridge features stone and concrete substructures, signifying this was a former truss bridge.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with no major deterioration noted.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
