This small bridge crosses Moniteau Creek right before the Katy Trail crosses into the Rocheport Tunnel.
The bridge here was built in 1942 after the old bridge was destroyed in a derailment. The old bridge was a Parker Through Truss bridge.
It is unknown if this span was relocated from another location, or if it was built new here.
The bridge was heavily rebuilt in approximately 2011, with a new concrete deck and new approaches. This replaced a wooden trestle span.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common nature of the structure and the age. In addition, the bridge retains little historic integrity.
