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

This bridge showed an original construction date of 1922 with some sort of unknown repair or alteration in 1940. It was a small bridge with no distinguished details, but with its narrow deck bridge and lightweight railings it was a window into what transportation was like in the 1920s.
