This simple deck bridge crosses Sand Creek near Dalton.
It is located south of WI-44, near County Road HH and County Road II.
The bridge rests on concrete abutments, which have been constructed for two track capabilities. This is a common theme throughout this line, with expansion points in almost every bridge.
The photo above is an overview. The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
