The CSAH-39 bridge is located just east of where the Mississippi River exits Cass Lake and falls over the Knutson Dam. This is an early prestressed precast concrete girder bridge. Like many bridges from that area, the railings are substandard. They would likely not stand up to an automobile impact, they are not angled so they would not deflect an impact, and the curb is not high enough to stop a car. Otherwise, this 48 year old bridge appears like it will stand for many years in the future.

The photo above is a view looking north down the length of the bridge deck. The photo below is the bridge plate. The photo at the top of the page is a profile view of the west side of the bridge.
