Located on the north side of Eden Prairie, this small concrete slab bridge crosses Indian Chief Road. Built in 1913, the bridge utilizes a single standard skewed concrete slab span, set onto concrete substructures. This style of underpass was exceptionally common along the Milwaukee Road, with dozens of examples constructed. Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair to poor condition, with some deterioration noted. The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
