This bridge is a traditionally composed Wrought Iron Bridge Company Whipple truss bridge. It is built to a standard design that the company used. Distinctive characteristics include the uncommon vertical member design, which features no v-lacing or lattice. The shape of the portal bracing is a design seen in many other bridges built by this company, including the decorative design at the top.

This bridge also features impressive built-up floor beams. The structure is composed of thirteen panels.

This bridge makes a good comparison to the Adaline Bridge.
