| Additional Information: | It is built on a reinforced concrete deck, reinforced concrete decorative columns which form a balustrade on either side. It was constructed in 1926 by the E. G. Bingham Company for the State of Wisconsin. At the time this bridge was constructed, this highway, now STH 108, was part of STH 16. It was constructed at the same location as the covered bridge which stood at this location since at least the 1870s. |
