Significance Local Significance


Located just east of Judson, this small bridge crosses a small unnamed creek.
Built in 1908, the bridge was originally constructed as a simple I-Beam span. However, it would later be encased in concrete prior to 1959.
The bridge rests on typical stone abutments. It appears that the bridge was re-grouted in the early 2000s as well.
Overall, the bridge appears to remain in excellent condition.
