This bridge is part of a group of bridges in rural Renville County that
cross the Minnesota River. Unlike many of those bridges, this one is
relatively new, and as a result, it is a prestress concrete girder bridge
rather than a steel girder bridge that was popular in the 1960s. The
distinguishing features include piers made up of concrete columns, large
concrete blocks at the end of the guardrails, and the bridge being located
on a gravel road.
The traffic count of 35 vehicles a day is an indicator of just how lonely
this bridge must be. At 35 per day, this is 12,775 a year, or 120,775
in the decade that this bridge was built. In comparison, the I-35W
bridge sees more cars crossing in a day than what this bridge has seen
since it was opened in 1998.
