Located in Mason City, this deck girder bridge crosses the Winnebago River near Norris Park.
Built in approximately 1940 to replace an older bridge, likely a truss, this bridge features a pair of deck girder spans, set onto concrete substructures.
Unfortunately, no date can be found for this bridge. It is also unknown if these spans were relocated from elsewhere, as the Milwaukee Road sometimes did that.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in excellent condition.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
