Significance Local Significance


This concrete arch bridge is representative of typical overpasses, which were mass produced.
The bridge crosses Junction Avenue, which is now a private road.
It was built in 1910 during a track reconstruction in the area. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to access.
The Schererville Rail Crossing was the only real way to access the structure.

The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design of the structure.
