This bridge carries Nature Road, also marked ash Morrison County Highway 26, across the Mississippi in a very rural area between Saint Cloud and Little Falls. It is a very typical steel girder bridge with concrete deck and concrete piers, but it has two very atypical features. First, is has very decorative curved piers. Due to the high water, those piers are largely submerged in these photos. The second is that the bridge is built as one long curve. Steel girders work well for curved bridges since they can be manufactured to match the roadway curve.

This bridge is located in a fairly lonely part of the state and sees relatively little traffic. In fact, the Great River Road is unpaved in sections north of there. This area is, however, worth seeking out. The boyhood home of famous aviator Charles Lindberg is located on the west side of the river between this bridge and Little Falls (though a more direct route may be taken from Little Falls).

The photo above is the downriver face of the bridge. The photo below is the upriver face of the bridge. The photo at the top of the page is a view looking west done the length of the curving traffic deck.
