This bridge represents a type of bridge that was relatively common on a nationwide basis during the early twentieth century. The design took a standard riveted Warren pony truss and used riveted together just angles rather than the usual, more hefty assortment of built of beams composed of back-to-back channels and top chord made of built-up box beams. This bridge is a typical example of this angle-based design. The design was perhaps a little less strong, but it was more cost effective. Despite this, these bridges are generally still a reliable and strong bridge design. The continued use of this bridge by vehicular traffic is a good example. Alterations to the structure include some welded repairs to this bridge, and supplemental steel added to the floor beams. This bridge features a stringer approach span at each end.
