This structure is a simple concrete slab structure over Indian Chief Road.
Built in 1913, the bridge lends itself to many unique photography angles, as the bridge sits at an awkward angle over the road.
In addition, the bridge is a popular location to graffiti, being related in design to Graffiti Bridge, the famed and now demolished bridge in Eden Prairie.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition.
