This bridge is currently under investigation do to concerns of gussette plate thickness.No plans are made to replace this bridge or repair it.There is talk of weight restictions however.Bridge was built by A guthrie&co highway and is owned by the state of minnesota.The railroad trestle next to it IS being considered for replacement by northern Burlignton Santa Fe(owner). Trains have been instructed to go at a pace of 10 MPR across the trestle.

This is a fine example of a pratt deck truss!! It's current rating is 75.8. It was redecked in 1984. Located by robinson and near a railroad trestle and lost bridge. ENJOY!!
