Located near the junction of I-29 and I-229 in Sioux Falls is this trail bridge.
Built in 1906 to replace an older Howe Through Truss and trestle bridge, this structure is one of only a couple Warren Through Trusses built for railroad use in South Dakota.
Consisting of 6 panels, the bridge contains riveted connections and massive built up members. The structure is approached by trestle spans on the east end.
The truss rests on concrete substructures, while the approach spans are supported by wooden bents.
Overall, the bridge remains in good condition. With the bridge now carrying a trail, it is likely this structure will be preserved for generations to come.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the distinct lack of Warren Through Truss railroad bridges in the state.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge is easily accessed from local trails.
