Bridge 92247
History and significance
Bridge 92247 is a single-span, filled-spandrel, reinforced-concrete arch bridge constructed in 1904 to carry Lexington Avenue over a now-abandoned street-car line in Como Park in Saint Paul, Ramsey County. The Classical Revival-style bridge is faced with random-course Kettle River sandstone. The bridge is significant as one of the earliest reinforced-concrete bridges in Minnesota, as well as the use of the patented Melan reinforcing. It is also significant as the work of noted Minnesota bridge builder William S. Hewitt.
