This massive deck truss bridge crosses the Sheboygan River in Sheboygan.
The bridge was built in 1906 as part of the Sheboygan Cutoff; which rerouted freight trains out of central Sheboygan.
The bridge features a pair of riveted Quadrangular Deck Truss spans, with deck girder approaches on either side.
The substructures are originally built to hold two tracks, a second track which was never added.
The bridge rests on a combination of stone substructures and concrete abutments.
The bridge has seen little modification since it was first built; except for the replacement of the abutments.
Overall, the structure is in great condition. The author has ranked it as being moderately significant, due to the landmark status and historic nature of the bridge.
