Located between Dysart and Garrison near 14th Avenue, this small steel stringer bridge crosses a small tributary of Pratt Creek.
Locally known as the Chickenman Bridge, the bridge consists of a single steel stringer span, set onto abutments made of stone and concrete. The west abutment is constructed purely of concrete, while the east is made of stone capped with concrete.
Simply built, it is like many others on railroads all around America. It has almost no defining features compared to a nearly identical span to the west.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition, with no major deterioration, other than some significant spalling on the west abutment. It continues to serve as part of the Old Creamery Trail.
The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design and small size.
