Located west of Forest River, this small beam bridge crosses the Forest River.
Built in approximately 1910, the bridge features a pair of steel stringer spans, set onto wooden substructures. The bridge is approached by trestle on either side, and has large ice breakers in front of the piers.
This style bridge was commonly used on branch lines, where a larger span was required, but a permanent substructure was not. Oftentimes, these girder spans would be moved from a mainline to replace several trestle spans. It is unknown if that is the case here.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition, with no major deterioration noted. Unfortunately, no plaques could be found on the bridge. The author will attempt to find more information on this structure.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
