Bridge Documentation

This bridge's future is at risk!

Bridge Status: This historic bridge is slated for demolition and replacement! Contract let in October 2022!

View Archived National Bridge Inventory Report - Has Additional Details and Evaluation

This bridge is a traditionally composed example of a mid-20th Century cantilever deck truss. Thanks to demolition, bridges like this are rapidly becoming rare. This bridge is extremely hard to photograph since despite its immense size, it is surrounded by numerous trees and the area around the bridge is very overgrown.
