From the highway, one cannot even tell that there is a bridge located here, let alone a bridge across the Mississippi River. From river level, however, this turns out to be a very interesting structure. It is a cast in place concrete barrel arch that forms a large culvert. It is a perfect fit for this location. The structure is relatively inexpensive, durable, low maintenance, yet large enough to allow canoes to pass under the bridge. This culvert replaced a 1925 steel beam bridge.

The photo above is a view of the bridge from the highway level, where it is hard to tell where the bridge is located. The photo below is a view from river level. Note that the bridge has a few decorative lines cast into the concrete to dress up the structure.
