Bridge visited and photographed by Rick McOmber.

This is a four panel structure that retains a good deal of historic integrity, despite being closed to traffic. The bridge retains original lattice railings. Vertical members feature lattice, and v-lacing is present under the top chord and end post. The small size of this bridge would make this it a good, inexpensive candidate for restoration. The bridge sits on attractive stone abutments.
