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:

SIXTH CROSSING
MILL CREEK
___

MARION COUNTY
E. F. BALGEMANN
CONTRACTOR
1930

The only halfway reasonable parking options are on the shoulders near the driveways east and west of the bridge.
