The Clear Creek Bridge, in Butler County, Nebraska near Bellwood, Nebraska, was built in 1891. It is a Warren through truss bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]

It is a 73 feet (22 m) single-span bridge. It was designed and built by the King Bridge Co. of Cleveland, Ohio; it was fabricated by the CRM Co.[2]

Its 1991 National Register nomination noted that "the bridge's integrity has been diminished by later alterations, [but] this fact is mitigated by the structure's extreme rarity and age. Among Nebraska's oldest vehicular spans, the crossing continues to carry vehicular traffic."[2] In 2010, the bridge was blocked off and no longer carried traffic.[3]

It brings a township road over Clear Creek about 5.8 miles (9.3 km) northwest of Bellwood.[2]
