Lucas County has a lot of railroad bridges thanks to Toledo, but this is one of the few highway truss bridges in the area. Located just south of the Michigan border in the Alexis region of Toledo on a road that is relatively rural for being in a city, this bridge appears to be built by an Ohio state standard plan. The bridge was fabricated by the American Bridge Company, and the Standard Engineering and Contracting Company of Toledo, Ohio were the contractors for the bridge. The bridge's polygonal configuration features a pleasing and well-defined curve to it. The presence of lattice and v-lacing on some of the built-up members and chords of this bridge further contribute to the beauty of this structure.
