This bridge had just received a new deck when I visited. The pile of old wood was next to the bridge. Although the deck has likely been replaced other times in the past, this is the first documented date of any repair work, and so I listed it as a rehabilitation date. The bridge is a small three panel half-hip pony truss. Various modifications are present on the structure, including the addition of tension members through the addition of cables the function alongside the center diagonals on the western truss (right side of photo on this page). There was also some welding done to the top chord on this western truss right above the leftmost vertical member in the above photo. The bridge is seated on stone abutments. There is v-lacing present on the verticals.
