This open-spandrel bridge is one of the larger structures in South Bend, featuring a larger vertical clearance that other examples. It is unclear whether the railings on the bridge are original or not. They utilize a design unlike the other South Bend bridges, but this could mean anything. The main arch superstructure however does appear to be intact, and still creates an impressive bridge to look at.
