Located south of Ashton, this through girder bridge crosses an unnamed drainage creek along Iowa Highway 60.
Built in 1912, the bridge consists of a single through girder span, set onto concrete substructures. This girder is similar to others along the route, and was likely built to cross field drainage from a swamp just east of IA-60.
It is likely that this bridge replaced an older trestle bridge of some sort. Unfortunately, like many bridges along this route, the plaques on the bridge have been taken. The author intends to conduct more research on this structure.
Overall, the bridge is in fair to good condition. The superstructure appears to be excellent, while the substructures have some spalling.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
