This bridge is newly opened in 2007. In fact, traffic barrels are still present on the deck. It spans the Mississippi River Flood Diversion Channel, the western most of two such bridges. The bridge carries mostly farm traffic, so it doesn't have to be any more strongly built.

It turns out that this bridge is too new to appear in the published National Bridge Inventory system. It replaced bridge #01501, which was rated as structurally deficient.
