Located south of Webster City, this bridge is one of two similar deck girder bridges along the eastern edge of Briggs Woods Park.
Built in 1914 to cross Ditch #166, the bridge consists of a single deck girder span, on concrete abutments. A plaque missing from the abutments suggests this substructure was built by Cleary-White Construction Company, and a missing plaque on the other bridge suggests the superstructure was built by American Bridge Company.
These types of spans are extremely common on railroads throughout America, due to the ease of construction and simple maintenance.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with no significant deterioration noted.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
