DM&E Garvin Brook Bridge near Minnesota City
Posted September 3, 2012, by John Marvig (johnmarvig [at] chaska [dot] net)

I do not know if this bridge is still the historic bridge. Major work was done at this location around 2010, and the bridge could have been replaced.

What makes me wonder is the fact that several other bridges along the DM&E (including 2 more over Garvin Brook) were replaced with a different style using concrete girders. But at the same time, former abutments appear under the bridge.

For now I will enter the information I have on the bridge
