This standard Baltimore Through Truss bridge lies at the end of a minimum maintenance road, and crosses a channelized section of the Tarkio River.
The bridge is simple in design, featuring a single Baltimore Through Truss span with riveted connections and 6 panels. This span rests on concrete substructures.
In addition, the structure is approached on the south by a pair of concrete beam spans; which replaced a wooden trestle span. These were added in approximately 2000.
While the bridge is of newer age than similar crossings, it does retain a high level of historic integrity, with minimal alterations. The portal is a simple beam type structure.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the newer and more common design of the structure.
The photo above is an overview from an overcast morning. The author hopes to return to this bridge soon for better photos.
