One of the accomplishments made in the Township and a benefit to all early settlers was construction of a bridge across the Sheyenne River in Section 26, Washburn Township. At the meeting of the County Commissioners on October 8, 1883, bids were accepted for the construction of the "Fluto" bridge. On December 24, 1883 the bridge was completed and the final bills were paid with a total cost of approximately $3900. The bridge has been rebuilt and widened with the last improvements being made in 1958.
