This is one of the nicest examples of the curved-chord through girder bridge in St. Clair county in terms of structural integrity. The concrete has not experienced much spalling, which is good. The structure is skewed quite noticeably. The bridge has State Reward Bridge plaques on it. The bridge was built in 1922, which makes it an early and well preserved example of its structure type.
There is no weight limit on this bridge, there are currently no plans to replace it! However, knowing St. Clair County this will not always be the case. It is important that this bridge not be demolished. The time to restore this bridge, perhaps by applying a protective concrete paint, is now, before the bridge become deficient.
