This unique deck girder bridge formerly crossed G Avenue just east of Redfield.
While the bridge was reportedly built in 1902, it appears that the bridge may have used secondhand spans or may have been rebuilt at some point. The bridge features a pair of deck girder spans, set onto concrete substructures.
Another feature of the bridge is the use of twinned deck girders. The process of twinning takes two spans of girders and makes one span. This is often done with scrap material to strengthen the bridge.
The bridge once crossed G Avenue, although G Avenue was removed in the 1990s. It continues to cross an unnamed creek.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. Currently, the bridge serves the Raccoon River Valley Trail.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the lack of information on the structure.
