Located between Milaca and Ogilvie, this small stone arch culvert crosses an unnamed creek parallel to Highway 23.
Built in 1901, the bridge features a standard stone arch design. These structures were most often used to cross small creeks and drainage areas.
Overall, the bridge remains in good to fair condition. Some deterioration has begun on the wing wall, but appears to be slow to advance.

The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
