This basic concrete arch bridge crosses the Sand Hill River near Winger, Minnesota.

It was built in 1902 when the Soo Line built through the region. It appears to be in good condition.
The author has ranked this basic bridge as locally significant, due to the common and insignificant nature of the bridge.
