This simple deck girder bridge crosses the Wolf River in Shawano. It consists of four deck girder spans.
Originally built in 1907, bridge is simply constructed with a three main spans, and trestle approaches. The main spans rest on newer concrete pile piers.
In 1939, the bridge was rebuilt onto concrete piers.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common nature of the bridge.
