This beautiful truss bridge once carried Soo Line passengers to and from Wisconsin into the St. Paul terminal.
Presently, it only serves a spur with little to no traffic. It formerly crossed a Northern Pacific mainline, now BNSF.
Built in 1909 bridge itself is a heavily skewed, 6 panel, pin connected Warren Through Truss. The truss contains a combination of rivet plates and pin connections. It sits on concrete substructures.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair to good condition, with minor deterioration noted. Should this bridge become disused, it could become part of a recreational trail.
It is a very concealed structure, sitting in an industrial area. It can be seen from the Jackson Street Bridge, or by permission from property owners.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the truss design.
