This box culvert was installed when County Highway 2 was rebuilt in 1939. The old alignment, which contained Larson's Bridge, was abandoned. Since this culvert replaced Larson's Bridge, it was only natural to call it Larson's Culvert. The old bridge was named after Robert Larson since he was the nearest property owner.

One can hardly tell that there is a bridge here or that they are crossing the Mississippi River, other than the small green guide signs. This is a rather minimal treatment for such a mighty river. In addition this culvert and the remains of Larson's Bridge, there are two other bridges over the Mississippi River within 1200 feet of either side of the road, both of which are privately owned bridges.
