This bridge crosses Paint Creek at Lake Wissota near Chippewa Falls.
Built in 1912 as part of a line change, the bridge consists of a trio of through girder spans, set onto concrete substructures.
Overall, the bridge appears to remain in good condition. Some noticeable deterioration was noted around the substructures.

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