This standard overpass was built in 1941 by Missouri Pacific to cross 60th Street.
Consisting of a single I-Beam span, it is approached by trestle spans on either side.
The bridge does feature a substantial skew, and rests on concrete and wood substructures.
Overall, the bridge appears to remain in good condition.

The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant due to the common design and newer age.
