Crossing the Milwaukee River, Milwaukee River Parkway and Sunny Point Road, this large structure is one of the largest in the Milwaukee area.
Built in 1928 as a single deck truss with deck girder approaches, the bridge was rebuilt in 1938 with lengthened approaches on the east side of the bridge.
Currently, the bridge consists of a main 6-panel, riveted Warren Deck Truss with 17 spans of deck girder approaching it. These spans rest on concrete substructures, and some utilize a concrete pile design typical of this time period.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in relatively good condition. Good views of this structure are hard to find, especially in the summer months.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the truss design.
The photo above is an overview of the main span. The bridge can be accessed from Milwaukee River Parkway or Sunny Point Road. The author intends to get more photos in the near future.
