This deck girder bridge crosses Division Street just west of Davenport.
Built in 1977 to allow for the widening of Division Street, this bridge replaced a similar structure.
In addition to the main large deck girder span, the bridge is approached by a pair of I-Beam spans. The entire structure sits on concrete abutments.
Overall, the bridge remains in great condition.

The author has ranked this bridge as being minimally significant, due to the newer age of the bridge.
