Iroquois County is filled with a large number of remaining truss bridges, must most are no larger than 100 feet in length, and many are short pony trusses. A 143 feet, this bridge is not the largest bridge ever built, but it is Iroquois County's longest, and its taller design and impressive sway bracing make it a very impressive bridge. The bridge is an eight panel structure, and is does not fall into the pattern of similar design as other Iroquois County truss bridges. The portal bracing is a large lattice design, while the sway bracing also employ an even larger and simpler lattice design. There is v-lacing on the verticals and under the top chord and end posts. The base of the deck is concrete. The abutments are also concrete.
