This bridge was a significant historic bridge because it featured three through truss spans, each with a noteworthy span length of around 400 feet. Additionally, the bridge was designed by noted engineering firm Modjeski and Masters. At the time of it was replaced with a new bridge, the bridge retained good historic integrity with no major alterations. The bridge was replaced with a plain and ugly looking modern truss bridge a distance south of the historic bridge. The new bridge lacks the geometric intricacy that conveys both beauty and complex craftsmanship which was found in the historic bridge. The new bridge's truss spans do not rise impressively above the roadway in an imposing manner as the historic truss bridge spans did.
The historic bridge remained standing for a year after the new bridge was completed. It could have been rehabilitated and left standing for pedestrian use, but was not. Instead, during this period where the bridge was closed to traffic but not demolished, some sort of landslide occurred which damaged the western approach spans, and since the bridge was slated for demolition anyway, no action was taken, and as a result a couple of those approach spans collapsed shortly afterward. It was not long after that the bridge was actually demolished.
This historic bridge has been demolished. This map is shown for reference purposes only.
