Located in the small town of Wegdahl, this deck girder bridge crosses Brafees Creek.
Built in 1913, the bridge originally featured a single deck girder set onto concrete substructures. At this time, the road actually crossed under a separate concrete slab structure at the east end of the girder bridge.
This concrete slab span was originally built into the abutment of the girder bridge. Sometime prior to 1976, the concrete slab span was removed and replaced with a new timber span.
Timber spans like this are commonly used for replacements of deteriorated concrete spans. However, they are oftentimes considered to be a temporary substitute.
Overall, this bridge appears to be in fair condition.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
