This standard concrete arch structure crosses Kowald Road, just west of Ingle.
While it only has been constructed for one track, the north end has an expansion point which would allow two tracks.
The bridge is very similar to the nearby Fox River Bridge, which is just down Kowald Road.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition for the age and design.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The photo above is an overview.
