This bridge was an otherwise traditional example of 1930s pony truss bridge construction. However, more recently, likely due to some sort of structural deterioration, the bridge has been retrofitted in the oddest of ways. Someone managed to acquire the girders from a through plate girder bridge and they attached them to half of the bridge. The girders do not run the entire length of the bridge, and a pier was added to support the end of the girder that extended into the water. Holes were cut through the deck of the truss bridge to connect the girder. There apparently must have been an issue with the floor beams or deck stringers at this end of the bridge to cause this alteration to take plate. The result is quite striking, and it is interesting to suppose that if this bridge were to be left and eventually restored, one might claim there were two historic bridges in one place here!
