Most states by the 1920s had developed a number of standard plans for their truss bridges, and the bridge companies stopped having the role of designing the structure themselves, and rather had to follow state plans. The result is that between states, each state had its own design that could be found in various places throughout the state. It is easy to seen that this bridge is built to a standard plan, the same one as the Wilden Avenue Bridge. On the other hand, these standard plans took away the role of the bridge company, so identifying a bridge's builder based on the appearance of the bridge was no longer possible. This is all part of the evolution of bridge design that started with the beginning of the truss bridge era.
This bridge is a subdivided warren pony truss bridge with riveted connections. It retains original lattice guardrails. The bridge sits on concrete abutments. Rocker bearings are present at the south end of the bridge. The deck is concrete with an asphalt wearing surface. Concrete curbs are present on the bridge deck as well. Steel for the bridge was fabricated by the Bethlehem Steel Company, according to brands found on the bridge.
This bridge must have an interesting story behind it, because although rust is present all over the structure, there is clearly a lot more green paint on the western truss. It is like someone started to paint the bridge and then ran out of paint/money.
