Thanks to James Rouse for visiting and photographing this bridge.

This pony truss of decent length is a five panel structure. The bridge is seated on steel caissons. It features lattice on the verticals. Their are batten under the top chord and end posts, and on the diagonals. The wooden decked structure is listed as 12.5 feet which is very narrow even for a truss bridge.
