This bridge is similar to the TR-48 Bridge also in the county. The builder of that bridge is listed as the Toledo Bridge Company, which was the successor to the Smith Bridge Company name. This bridge had the name listed in the Ohio Historic Bridge Inventory as Smith Bridge Company. Both structures are very similar in appearance, so I am thinking that both these bridges were built around the time that Smith Bridge Company became the Toledo Bridge Company.
This bridge is a pin connected half-hip Pratt pony truss. The bridge is composed of five panels. The deck is wooden, and the structure is seated on concrete abutments. There is no v-lacing or lattice present on the bridge. Original railings do not remain on the bridge, and modern Armco railings are present.
