Located between Annandale and South Haven, this small steel stringer bridge crosses Nevens Avenue just south of Minnesota Highway 55.
Reportedly built in 1935, the bridge consists of a single steel stringer span, set onto concrete substructures. It appears the current stringer span probably replaced a similar deck girder span.
Like many bridges, the "Soo Line" herald still is visible on the bridge. There were no visible plaques or stamps on the bridge.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with little serious deterioration.
The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design and newer age.
The photo above is an overview.
