Located in the town of Riceville, this large arch bridge crosses Watson Creek.
Little is known about the history of this bridge. In a 1912 postcard, the bridge is constructed of concrete, probably the same concrete seen today. It is likely that the concrete was an encasement of an older stone structure.
However, an annual report from 1897 made note that an 800 foot long and 30 foot high trestle at Riceville was being filled. It seems highly likely that this is that structure, and it seems likely that the original arch underneath is made of stone.
Today, it is used as a trail. Unfortunately, the bridge appears to be in fair to poor condition, with serious structural issues along the walls, as well as spalling throughout the bridge.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
