Located near Le Mars Municipal Park, this through girder bridge crosses Willow Creek.
Built in approximately 1915, the bridge consists of a single through girder span, approached by two modular concrete spans on the south and six on the north. The bridge rests on concrete and steel pile substructures.
The original approaches were timber pile trestles. It is believed that these were upgraded in approximately 2000. This type of bridge is common along this route for crossing streams.
Unfortunately, the plaque on the bridge has been removed, meaning that no build date can be found. The author will conduct further research into this.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with little notable deterioration.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
