The river that this bridge crosses is a very short stretch of water named Christina Creek which drains Christina Lake and empties into the Kettle River just a bit south. The date is stamped in the concrete end posts on the right side, each end of the bridge.

The concrete and steel girder bridge itself is an interesting one, resting on somewhat differently styled piers. There are two central piers, each consisting of a pair of steel tube columns. Each column consists of eight steel tubes between a concrete base and a concrete capital, the tubes set well apart in a large circle at the bottom and angling in to form a smaller circle at the top. This is a style unique in my experience.

The bridge itself is a couple of hundred feet in length.
