This standard concrete slab bridge crossed County Road 8 in Waverly.
Built in 1921, this bridge consisted of four concrete slab spans, set onto concrete substructures. Spans like this were typical construction of many railroads.
As of 2013, the bridge was in poor condition. Severe deterioration of main spans had begun. In early 2017, the bridge was replaced by a new modular span.

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