"Constructed from 1897 to 1898, the Fox Creek Stone Arch Bridge spans Fox Creek in north-central Chase County. The bridge is located on a county road one-half mile north and three-fourths mile west of the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and Cottonwood Street in Strong City. Virtually unaltered since construction, the bridge span length is 40 feet, and the structure length is 55 feet. The bridge roadway width is 16 feet, and the total width of the bridge deck is 20 feet. The Fox Creek Stone Arch Bridge is nominated as part of the Masonry Arch Bridges of Kansas multiple property nomination for its architectural significance as a limestone, single arch bridge."
