This single span through truss bridge crosses the Sheboygan River on the south side of Sheboygan.
This bridge was built around 1906 during a series of railroad reconstructions in the area.
The bridge features a single Quadrangular Through Truss span with riveted connections. It also contains a standard A-Frame portal brace.
The bridge rests on stone substructures.
Overall, the structure is in great condition. The author has ranked it as being moderately significant, due to the common nature of this design in the region.
The photo above is an oblique view of the structure.
