Located in Nebraska City, this simple steel and concrete bridge crosses 9th Street north of 11th Corso.
It is unknown when the bridge was built, but Missouri Pacific track profiles indicate that work was done on the rail line through the area in 1945. In addition, historic aerials indicate a different wooden bridge was here in 1938, but a concrete bridge was here in 1950.
The bridge is simply comprised of a single steel stringer span, approached by two concrete stringer spans on either side. The entire bridge is set onto concrete pile piers.
This type of bridge was commonly used on the Missouri Pacific. It is believed that the concrete spans were pre-fabricated off-site.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition. Some strike damage and concrete deterioration can be noted.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
