The bridge here is one of the most scenic across the Namekagon River. It consists of deck girder spans and trestle approaches.
The two main spans across the river replaced a single 150 foot deck truss in the 1960s. This loss did affect the historical aspect of this bridge significantly, as the truss span dated to 1892.
However, the bridge did retain some historical value with the road span, which dates to 1926.
The substructures are a mix of wood, concrete and steel. Advanced corrosion has eaten through portions of the pier between the highway span and river span.
Overall, the bridge remains in fair to poor condition. Corrosion is widespread on the structure.
The author ranks this bridge as being locally significant, due to the replacement of the truss.
