This standard through girder bridge is the middle of three identical structures crossing Soldier Creek on the Fort Dodge Nature Trail.
Built in 1899 using a single through girder relocated from an unknown location, the bridge likely was built in approximately 1895. A faded stenciling says "From", although no more of the stenciling can be read.
It is currently unknown where the bridge came from. Identical bridges are located along the main line, crossing Sand Creek near Jordan, Minnesota.
These structures feature ballasted decks, and stone substructures. The bridge remains in an overall good condition.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design of the bridge.
The photo above is an overview. It can be accessed from the trail it carries.
