This attractive bridge is a rare example of a pin-connected truss bridge that remains in use for vehicular traffic in genuinely good condition, but also with excellent historic integrity. Each span is composed of eight panels. Original lattice railings remain on the bridge behind modern railings. Vertical members feature v-lacing, with lattice on the sway and portal bracing. The sway bracing is nearly identical to the portal bracing.
