Heber Creeper Railroad Line, Olmstead Bridge, Spanning Provo River, Provo, Utah County, UT

Significance: The Olmstead Bridge is an excellent, unaltered example of a pin connected, steel Howe Truss railroad bridge, typical of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although originally constructed and installed at another location, the bridge still retains integrity of historic location along the Heber Creeper Railroad grade. Because it has been used at three different locations, it typifies the versatility of steel plate bridges and the adaptability of bridge engineering during the time of its principal use. In addition, the bridge has integrity of design, feeling, materials, and workmanship relative to its physical setting and technological context.
