This short bridge measures 61 feet in length and is one of several that span Mill Creek east of the town of Turner, each of which are nearly identical. The bridge was built in 1930 and contains two identical dedication plaques - embedded in the wall near each end of the bridge. The marker text says:
FIFTH CROSSING MILL CREEK ___ MARION COUNTY E. F. BALGEMANN CONTRACTOR 1930 |
The only halfway reasonable parking option is on the shoulder at the intersection of Mill Creek Road and 70th Avenue, just west of the bridge.
