Located near the town of Denton and just south of Yankee Hill Road, this through girder bridge is the first of several crossings of Haines Branch along this line.
Although it is unknown when the bridge was built, it appears that it dates to approximately 1910. The bridge features a through plate girder span with a ballasted deck, set onto concrete substructures. No plaques or stamps were found on the bridge.
Several similar bridges can be seen throughout the former CB&Q system. Instead of using two parallel stringers, these bridges use a series of floor beams placed between the two plate girders. With the ballasted deck, the track actually sits approximately halfway up the girder.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in excellent condition, with no serious deterioration noted.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
