This single span Quadrangular Through Truss bridge crosses the Solomon River near the town of Solomon.
The bridge features a single span with riveted connections. The bridge originally featured trestle approaches.
While similar to other trusses on this line, this design of truss is relatively rare in Kansas and Missouri.
Built in approximately 1902, the bridge has had little alteration since construction. However, it appears that the original approach spans were replaced with I-Beam spans. The one alteration is the replacement of the original portal bracings to be able to accommodate larger trains.
The bridge rests on stone substructures, and is easy to access from the parallel road.
The bridge remains in great condition and is well maintained, although is not part of the busiest mainline across Kansas.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the low number of Quadrangular Trusses in the region.
