Located west of Armstrong, this small girder bridge crosses Iowa Highway 9.
Built in 1931, the bridge consists of a single twinned deck girder span, approached by trestle. The entire bridge sits on timber substructures.
Twinning deck girders was common for both short spans, as well as rebuilding spans. It is possible that this girder is actually older, although because of poor Rock Island record keeping, further information cannot be found.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition. It appears that the timber components of this bridge have not been upgraded in some time.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
