1920 was the construction date given for this bridge. This seems highly unlikely given the pinned connections and narrow deck width. It is likely pre-1900.
This is one of two bridges in the county that feature an extremely rare continuous two-span design. Nearly all pin-connected truss bridges were built as simple spans. This bridge acts as one single span, with a pier in the middle, forming the continuous design. This design alone makes this bridge one of the more important bridges in New York.
Fortunately this bridge has been well-maintained. Hopefully this will continue to be the case, since this is such a significant structure, and the other similar structure in the county is threatened with demolition.
