This small concrete arch bridge crosses Carroll County Road 318.
It was built in 1910 in preparation for a second mainline track through the area. It was likely constructed originally as a cattle pass.
The structure is simply built, containing an all concrete structure. One interesting note is the west face does not contain wing walls.

The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the newer date and the very common design.
Overall, the structure appears to be in good condition. The photo above is an overview.
