The bridge is a generic precast concrete girder bridge, typical of what MN-DOT would build when an economical and maintenance free bridge is needed. What is a bit uncommon is that the bridge is a single span. It does not have any support piers, and is supported only at the ends by the abutments. While the bridge has no decorative features, it does have the modern style of guardrail.
The driving surface on the bridge is asphalt. That again is a bit unusual. The bridge deck most likely is concrete. At some point since the bridge was built, the highway was repaved. Rather than cutting out the pavement near the bridge and matching the blacktop to the bridge deck, the paving crew simply paved right over the bridge. There is no harm in doing this, but it is a waste of material, and it adds unplanned weight to the bridge.
