This standard deck girder bridge is the 19th crossing of the Baraboo River along this route.
Built in 1898, the bridge consists of a trio of deck girder spans. The bridge rests on stone substructures.
Originally built for a second track, the former westbound main track is currently used as an active Wisconsin & Southern route, while the eastbound track is now a trail.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. This bridge is a unique example of railroad and pedestrians using the bridge.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge can be accessed from the trail it carries.
