Located east of downtown Rockford, this standard deck girder bridge crosses Keith Creek along Railroad Avenue.
Built in 1913, the bridge consists of a single deck girder span, set onto concrete substructures. In addition, this span contains a ballasted deck.
It is worth noting that while standard, this bridge does contain spans built in both 1912 and 1913. Typically, this indicates one was fabricated the year prior. It appears these spans were likely standard designs for the railroad.
Overall, the remaining girder span appears to be in fair condition. Some significant spalling can be found on the substructures.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
