Although this is a small bridge, it appears to retain a great deal of integrity. Despite its small size, this bridge is in better physical condition than the other bridges built with this particular railing design, such as the Masters Road Bridge. The Kilburn Bridge is according to the bridge inventory, much older than Masters Road. The Kilburn Road Bridge was built in 1922, while the Masters Road Bridge was a depression-era construction effort.

The setting of this bridge in the small wooded valley cut by Plum Creek makes this an attractive bridge in a pretty place. If the St. Clair County Road Commission's plans to seek Local Bridge Funding to demolish this bridge follow through, this will no longer be as beautiful of an area. In addition to a loss of the bridge, many of the trees will likely be cut down.
