This bridge is a small steel stringer over Soo Avenue, an access road.
Built in 1894, the bridge sits just east of I-94, and under 42nd Avenue. Some tracks were replaced by modern I-Beams in approximately 2000.
The bridge is a fairly plain bridge, other than the stone abutments. Overall, it appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
