This bridge appears to be similar in design to a standard plan of beam bridge, like on 27 Mile Road, although this bridge appears to be a more recent example, based on its condition, and the way the guardrails are mounted directly in the concrete of the deck. 

Although in decent condition and on a lightly traveled gravel road, this bridge is slated for demolition. Rehabilitation for continued vehicular use would be a better choice, since it would likely cost less money and this attractive structure could remain for future generations to enjoy.
