GB&W railroad bridge over the Wisconsin River.
Grand Rapids (later renamed to Wisconsin Rapids) was the division point on the Green Bay Route, as well as the location of a major crossing of the Wisconsin River. The bridge over the main channel of the river was a four span truss for many years, finally replaced in the 1980s by a plate girder bridge.
