The Old Cochrane Road Bridge is a historic bridge in rural Deuel County, South Dakota. It is a small single-span stone arch bridge, located on an old alignment of the road that circles Lake Cochrane. The bridge spans a stream that enters the lake near its southwestern corner, and is now located on a private lakefront property with a cabin. The bridge is fashioned from a variety of unworked fieldstone, and rises about 4 feet (1.2 m) above grade, with a span of about 6 feet (1.8 m). The bridge's date of construction is unknown, but is surmised to have been in the first decade of the 20th century. It is the only known stone-arch bridge to predate the 1930s in the state.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1] It was reported to be in deteriorated condition at that time.[2]
