History & significance

Bridge 95117 is a single-span, precast concrete arch bridge constructed in 1983 under the proprietary BEBO patent. It carries Trunk Highway 71 over Eagle Creek in Eagle Creek in Eagle Valley Township, Todd County. The BEBO design was developed by Swiss civil engineer Werner Heierli in the 1960s. The patented parabolic design involved complex engineering and included precasting of headwalls, wingwalls, the arch, and arch base. Bridge 95117 is significant as an early example of a BEBO patent precast arch bridge constructed in Minnesota.
