Located near Sauk Centre, this deck girder bridge is the first crossing of the Sauk River on the Lake Wobegon Trail.
Built in 1912 to replace a trestle bridge, the bridge features four deck girder spans, set onto concrete substructures.
This style of bridge is exceptionally common on American railroads, due to the ease of construction and durability.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with minor spalling noted throughout the structure.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
