This small 3 span concrete slab bridge crosses Stadium Drive near the railroad junction point.
The bridge is simply built, containing a typical depression era art deco design. It sits on concrete substructures.
It is believed to have been built around 1928, when the KCS built a new line through the area. Overall, the bridge is in a deteriorated condition, and needs extensive repairs to fix the deteriorated concrete.

The author has ranked this bridge as being minimally significant due to the common design and the small size.
