Thanks to James Rouse for visiting and photographing this historic bridge.

If the 1930 construction date listed for this bridge is correct, and the railings are original, this is one of the oldest known examples of a bridge to use this railing design which was used through the early 1960s. The design of the inset rectangles on the concrete railing posts do indeed follow a style found on the older bridges using these railings.
