Apparently there are five bridges on this line which cross the Clark Fork River and this is the fourth. This is a fairly long bridge of 884 feet in length. It consists of two truss sections resting on massive concrete piers, with steel girder extensions on each end, the longest of which rests on three more concrete piers. Which line this is we're not certain, but we suspect it's the Milwaukee Line.
Coordinates given are at a viewpoint directly north of the bridge. To view the bridge one must take Highway 200 northwest for close to a mile from the Bonner exit off I90, then take a left on Juniper drive, then follow it under I90 to the bridge.
