This bridge is a southeastern Minnesota Landmark. Known as The Arches Railroad Bridge, it graces Peterson Creek and County Road 12 with two stone arches.
Built in 1882, this year was during a time of intense rebuilding through the area. The previous structure here was likely a trestle structure.
Some unique features of the structure include the stepped wing walls, and the massive arches. These arches are composed of limestone which is not mortared together, but instead is grooved together.
In addition, the structure retains excellent historic integrity. Minimal decay to the structure was noted during a field visit in 2015.
This structure has been rated by the author as being moderately significant, as the double stone arch is an uncommon design for Minnesota. However, it is more common on Chicago & North Western lines.
