View an article regarding the construction of this route.

This small and insignificant I-Beam bridge was built in 1930 as part of a line relocation near Polo.
The simple I-Beam bridge sits on concrete substructures. It is a double track, serving both the Union Pacific Trenton Subdivision and the Canadian Pacific Kansas City line.
Containing little notable features, the bridge appears to be in fair condition.

The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
