For a pin-connected structure, this traditional truss bridge is fairly massive in terms of design. It features large built-up floor beams, relatively wide deck width, and large end post and top chord size. It is likely a post-1900 truss bridge as a result, perhaps dating to as late as 1915. A few bridge companies such as the Oregonia Bridge Company continued to build pin-connected through truss bridges into the early 20th century, although for the most part pin-connected truss bridges quickly fell from favor to riveted connections.

The Hayport Road Bridge features seven panels.
