This bridge is similar to the TR-38 Bridge also in the county. The builder of that bridge is listed as the Smith Bridge Company, which was the predecessor to the Toledo Bridge Company name. This bridge had the name listed in the Ohio Historic Bridge Inventory as Toledo 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 three panels. The deck is asphalt, which is laid on top of a corrugated steel base. The bridge sits 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.
