The MN-210 bridge is one of five Mississippi River crossings in the small town of Brainerd. The bridge is a fantastic example of the 1930s era art deco style of construction. It has all kinds of detail cast into the concrete, and the multi arches give plenty of places to add on those details. This bridge absolutely has to be seen from the side to be appreciated. So, it is a monumental sin that the City of Brainerd does not make any type of provision for people to look at this magnificent structure. All four corners have steep drops and are obscured by trees and brush. The one angle where I could even get a glimpse of the arch structure was by walking though the back yard of a home situated next to the bridge. In this sense, Brainerd is like a lot of cities that views the river as an industrial asset rather than a quality of life asset. They wall off the river so people do see it, rather than embracing the river as a local treasure.
