Crossing Dutch Creek about 4.5 kilometres south of Fairmont Hot Springs, this bridge is likely to be both the oldest and smallest bridge on Highway 95. A simple Warren Truss Bridge with verticals, it is only 100 feet or so in length. It has its date of construction imprinted in the small wing wall outside of the right hand concrete end post on each end of the bridge. 60 years of exposure to the weather is beginning to take a toll on the concrete, causing it to spall and flake off in places.

Note the large cliff of hoodoos to the east of the bridge. They alone are worth stopping to have a look at.
Date Built: 01/01/1954
