Located just east of Grand Rapids, this deck truss bridge crosses the Prairie River.
Originally built in 1899, the bridge features a single 7-panel riveted Warren Deck Truss. In addition, this bridge is approached by deck girders and an I-Beam span on the west end. The entire bridge rests on concrete substructures and steel towers.
In 1929, the truss was upgraded with an additional truss line. While this alteration changed the truss, it is old enough to be considered historic.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition.
