Thanks to Rod Detty for visiting and photographing this historic bridge.

CR-100 may be also known as Gorge Street and/or First Street. The sign shows the County Road 100 at the intersection nearest this bridge however.

This is a six panel structure that has a metal grate deck. It retains original lattice railings. The portal bracing features lattice, with decorative knee bracing design. V-lacing is present on the vertical members and under the top chord and end post. The sway bracing features an unusual design that uses battens.
