This bridge spans Neshonoc Creek on Old Wisconsin 16. The plaque is located on the South stone railing of the bride on the road side. It's on the West end of the Southern railing before the rail wings. Highway 16 itself dates back to 1918 before it was truncated to its newer route. The bridge is just East of Wisconsin 108 which leads to and through the Mindoro Cut. Old Wisconsin 16 is rarely used so parking Southwest of the bridge on the side of the road is the best to visit this plaque. Do watch for cars though.
